Forecasts

Nancy J (7/4), Lightning Bear (4/1), Bolo Neighs (5/1), Mollie Foster (5/1), Mount Parnassus (9/1), Sunglow (12/1), New Theory (16/1), Skillman Ave (33/1), Rhodreego (50/1), Tortola (200/1)

NANCY J has made a bright start and can land this big pot dropped to 6f. Down Royal winner Lightning Bear seems sure to go well if the cheekpieces work again. Mollie Foster could also be in the hunt.
