Forecasts

Presenting Lad (9/4), Mary Meehan (4/1), Kilashee (11/2), Willyouwalkwithme (8/1), Strikeback (8/1), Big Island (10/1), Big Kitten (14/1), Presenting Dylan (16/1), Applejack Poet (18/1), City Limits (20/1), Longhouse Force (25/1), Convertible (25/1), Hollys Honour (40/1), Glan Gap (40/1), Stander (66/1)

MARY MEEHAN surely has a bigger performance in her given the yard she represents so she looks the way to go. Presenting Lad and Willyouwalkwithme are a couple of potential threats.
