Forecasts

What's Up Darling (1/1), Marv Michael (11/4), Doonbeg Don (11/2), Beltown Lake (6/1), Evesham Road (8/1), Flemensface (12/1), Asian Master (18/1), Chasing Chances (33/1), Blue In The West (50/1), Lisleigh Lad (100/1), Jet Appeal (150/1)

WHAT'S UP DARLING clearly impressed when a ready winner of his point given powerful connections went to £280,000 to acquire him and he rates the percentage call on Rules. The Henry de Bromhead-trained pair Doonbeg Don and Marv Michael also make plenty of appeal on paper.
