Forecasts

Dylan Oak (5/2), Arch Melody (10/3), Christmas Jumper (9/2), Viking Hoard (5/1), Fairly Bold (15/2), Galaxy Girl (8/1), Barangarou (17/2), Da Big Fella (9/1), Stolen Moment (12/1), Alexharwill (20/1), Genie Makker (40/1), Goatitagain (40/1), Sir Neymar (40/1), Chitchat Sally (50/1), The Reanie Rocks (50/1), Trying My Best (50/1), Getaway Gold (80/1), Seskin Dancer (100/1), Miss Victrix (125/1), Bader (150/1), Blossomfort Bay (150/1)

Preference is for CHRISTMAS JUMPER, who was only narrowly denied at Tramore last time and remains on a workable mark. Dylan Oak and Barangarou rate the principal dangers.
