Forecasts

Cuckoo Valley (5/6), Fad Eadrainn (4/1), Champagne Kid (4/1), Beaufort Scale (15/2), Rollthedicedoyen (14/1), Lucky Manifest (33/1), Nelson Muntz (40/1), He's Gorgeous (40/1), Getone (50/1), Jimalie (80/1), Coup D'etat (80/1), A Okay (80/1), Nelson Eddie (100/1), Two Mile House (125/1)

CUCKOO VALLEY is in excellent hands and should be sufficiently tuned up to make a winning start in a thin race. Point recruit Beaufort Scale is a potential danger and Rollthedicedoyen makes some appeal on pedigree.
