Forecasts

Big Tour (3/1), Air Raid (5/1), My Target (13/2), Florencio (15/2), Maybride (8/1), Breanski (17/2), Poet's Society (17/2), Storm Ahead (12/1), Hayadh (14/1), Toofi (14/1), Be Kool (18/1), Tawny Port (20/1), Explain (28/1), Dark Profit (33/1)

BREANSKI can make his first appearance for Jedd O'Keeffe a winning one by taking this competitive handicap contest. The selection was a winner last month and can see off Big Tour who can put a disappointing seasonal debut behind him by finishing second. Air Raid is returning from a break and can claim third having won already this season.
