Forecasts

Shanty Alley (9/4), Didero Vallis (11/4), Mister Bells (7/2), Jimmy The Digger (4/1), Innisfree Lad (7/1), The Vollan (17/2), Rath An Iuir (17/2)

None of these veterans are rock solid but it could be worth chancing JIMMY THE DIGGER back down in class off a reduced mark. Didero Vallis is another who is used to keeping better company so is next best ahead of Shanty Alley.
