Forecasts

Hell Left Loose (4/1), Pretty Smart (4/1), That's Mad (9/2), Dee Sprinter (17/2), Eleuthera (9/1), Sunset Nova (11/1), Mister Trader (11/1), It's All A Joke (12/1), Time Stands Still (12/1), Tyrion's Dream (14/1), Kerry Blue (22/1), Bluepower (33/1), Cactus Tree (33/1), Formyboys (33/1), Brave Display (33/1), Cara's Company (40/1), Seanjohnsilver (40/1), Kitten On The Keys (50/1), Pride Of Pimlico (66/1), Wiggles (100/1)

THAT'S MAD was clear of the remainder when second to A Step Too Far (won again since) when second on debut for this stable at Bellewstown recently and should take all the beating if he can reproduce that form. Eleuthera and Mister Trader arrive in form, which is more than can be said for most of the others, so they're regarded as the main dangers.
