Forecasts

Dragon Of Malta (10/3), Brave Troop (4/1), Sirjack Thomas (13/2), Free Solo (15/2), Finsceal Go Deo (8/1), Mercurial (9/1), Stag Night (12/1), Run Forrest Run (12/1), Eastern Wind (14/1), Desert Haven (14/1), On Our Radar (25/1), Elephant John (50/1), Ivasecret (100/1)

SIRJACK THOMAS has bene running with real credit in much better handicaps than this so is a very appealing candidate at this level. Mercurial is interesting with cheekpieces back on, while Dragon of Malta is dangerous on his Galway win.
