Forecasts

Three Stripe Life (1/2), Grand Jury (2/1), Unexpected Depth (15/2), Ballykeel (16/1), The Tack Room (66/1), Priory Park (66/1), Formal Order (66/1), Kalli's Quest (66/1), Definetly Darsi (80/1), Gap Of Dunloe (80/1), Huntingtown (100/1), Harly De Rots (100/1)

THREE STRIPE LIFE enjoyed a fine first season over hurdles and is strongly fancied to make a winning start in this sphere before going onto better things. Grand Jury also brings lots of potential to chasing and appeals as the one to chase home Gordon Elliott's very smart 6-y-o, with another fencing newcomer Unexpected Depth next on the list.
