Forecasts

Below Deck (11/4), Hero Of The Hour (3/1), Jazzy Dancer (5/1), Theriverrunsdeep (11/2), Phil's Dream (13/2), No Speed Limit (8/1), My Girl Sioux (10/1), Soyounique (16/1), Zig Zag Zyggy (16/1), Clarinbridge (18/1), Adams Barbour (20/1), Tynan (25/1), Patsy Fagan (40/1), Autumnal Breeze (50/1), The Stray Sod (66/1), Gianh River (66/1), Florence Thompson (80/1)

BELOW DECK again went agonisingly close to breaking her duck when reeled in late by re-opposing Phil's Dream over the minimum trip here 3 weeks ago and with the step back up to 6f holding no fears, she could be up to reversing those placings on these revised terms. No Speed Limit and the aforementioned Phil's Dream are others to consider. Jazzy Dancer is another in the mix.
