Forecasts

Tina Meehan (1/2), Castra Vetera (16/5), The Grey Dove (5/1), Gentle And Kind (14/1), Coastguard Lady (16/1), Sleep Sound (50/1), Cappacurry Croi (50/1), Dalgan Park (66/1), Andyourbirdcansing (80/1), Ivy Hall (100/1), Mandilou (100/1), Georgiabell (125/1), Ballycommon Chapel (150/1), Hot Shimmer (150/1), Lady Lilly (150/1), Another Red Cat (200/1), Sandy Montana (200/1), Nagambler (250/1)
