Forecasts

Brother Dave (3/1), Drakeholes (5/1), Tathmeen (11/2), Billy McGarry (11/2), Gintini (9/1), Written Broadcast (10/1), Child Of Lir (14/1), Doon The Glen (20/1), Broxi (22/1), Rum Runner (22/1), Fanzone (22/1), Aclaim To Fame (40/1)

BROTHER DAVE is on the up and shaped best when runner-up at Southwell last time, so he's worth a chance to open his account now. Last-time-out winner Billy McGarry is an obvious danger and Tathmeen is worthy of a mention back at a track where he's had the bulk of his success.
