Forecasts

Sandor Clegane (15/8), Three Card Brag (9/4), Senior Chief (10/3), Nucky Johnson (12/1), Della Casa Lunga (14/1), My Gaffer (25/1), Mollys Glory (33/1), Rocco Bay (40/1), Fine Margin (50/1), Pale Blue Dot (50/1), Free Flowing (66/1), Ik's Man (66/1), Grand Rouge (300/1)

SENIOR CHIEF is selected to continue his trend of run-by-run improvement and complete a hat-trick for the Henry de Bromhead/Rachael Blackmore partnership. The drop back in trip is a slight concern for Albert Bartlett third and fifth Sandor Clegane and Three Card Brag but they should still have the class to figure. Noel Meade's Nucky Johnson is another unlikely to be too far away.
