Forecasts

Reddys Island (6/4), Dundaniel (3/1), Ardera Ru (7/1), Black Samurai (17/2), Toofareastiswest (10/1), Glenmalure Lodge (12/1), Dorans River (16/1), Slige Dala (18/1), Getaway Train (18/1)

A few in with a squeak but the vote goes to DORANS RIVER, who was clearly in great heart despite his advancing years during the summer and operating from a much lower chase mark returning from a break, he can notch a fourth success of the year. Gordon Elliott couldn't be in much better form and his Reddys Island can chase home the selection, ahead of Dundaniel and Ardera Ru.
