Forecasts

Half Nutz (10/3), Ferrybank (4/1), Furnace Creek (4/1), Hightimeyouwon (7/1), Eastern Wind (15/2), Lady Arwen (10/1), Amanirenas (11/1), Gegenpressing (12/1), Coins Cross (16/1), Mogwli (18/1), Mulgrave (20/1), Chavajod (28/1), Invincible Larne (40/1)

HALF NUTZ was rather unfortunate not to win here last week and can make amends off the same mark. Furnace Creek went close at the Curragh recently so is feared, while Ferrybank should be in the mix again.
