Forecasts

De Nordener (2/1), Private Ryan (9/4), Gino Drummer Boy (15/2), The Blind Piper (9/1), Chateau Elan (10/1), Brown Monday (14/1), Baby Chou (16/1), Fr Gilligansvoyge (20/1), Elusive Touch (20/1), Keenaghan Lass (22/1), Mandilou (66/1)

DE NORDENER has enjoyed plenty of success in points for his current handler and having finished fifth in a better race than this here on Tuesday, is selected on this quick turnaround. Brown Monday and Gino Drummer Boy are a couple of threats.
