Forecasts

Shadow Rider (7/4), Goodbye Someday (4/1), Alko Rouge (9/2), On Eagles Wings (11/2), Delvino (11/2), Belfast Banter (13/2), French Light (12/1), Bal De Rio (66/1)

GOODBYE SOMEDAY has been knocking at the door in listed/Graded company of late and can deservedly get his head back in front now. Maiden winners Alko Rouge and On Eagles Wings likely have more to offer and could be the pair to give John Kiely's charge most to think about.
