Forecasts

Vicar Street (4/9), Sporting Glance (11/2), Boston Rajj (9/1), Leave In Secret (10/1), Monroes Hollow (14/1), Spotthedifference (22/1), El Toro Rocco (25/1), Barton Snow (33/1), Catch Yourself On (40/1), Beltown Lake (50/1), Good Lies (125/1), Peg Of The Hills (150/1), Mr Mcwhinny (150/1), Brave Crogha (200/1)

VICAR STREET has a terrific pedigree and couldn't be in better hands, so he's a likely candidate to make a successful start for all that easy point winner Sporting Glance looks a formidable opponent. Boston Rajj, another newcomer from a top yard, should also come into the reckoning.
