Forecasts

Moulane West (6/4), Evergreen And Red (6/4), Gentleman Joe (9/4), Babylon Beach (5/1), Desert Friend (10/1), Hob House (10/1), Breath Caught (22/1), Reserve Judgement (33/1), Eastern Tornado (40/1), Open The Gate (40/1), Sir Daniel (40/1), Duhallow Rainbow (50/1), Out The Gap (66/1), The Alpha Man (66/1), Pharisees (80/1), Willie Bob (80/1), Ned The Smith (80/1), Prince Of Peace (80/1), Elle Dorado Rock (100/1), Kansas Joe (125/1), Cosmology (125/1)

It's likely we have yet to see the best of GENTLEMAN JOE in this sphere and he can open his account. Evergreen And Red and Moulane West look the likeliest dangers.
