Forecasts

Dancing Tango (6/4), River Rain (7/2), Engagement Ring (6/1), Cristal Clere (15/2), Marvelosa (17/2), Cyclamen (12/1), Tourgar Raude (12/1), Make Us Proud (16/1), Distinct (40/1), Shirouskey (50/1), Mr Escobar (80/1), White Quarry Rose (80/1), Wantage (80/1), Mount Bounty (100/1), Prayer Moon (125/1), We'llgowats (125/1), One Over The Top (200/1)

Joseph O'Brien perhaps holds the key to this, with new recruit DANCING TANGO marginally preferred in favour of River Rain. Cristal Clere's consistency is hard to knock and he may grab some more place money.
