Forecasts

Park That (11/10), Powerful (3/1), Dunkerque (6/1), Ranko Express (8/1), Old Bridge (9/1), Onyx Storm (12/1), Saga Des Aigles (14/1), Elusive Ogie (33/1), Temple City (50/1), Galician Girl (80/1), Guest Star (80/1), Kelly's Cosmos (100/1), Buttermere Ridge (100/1), Glory Sky (150/1), Galilean Prince (200/1)

It may well be that PARK THAT will be seen in a better light when handicapping in due course but, in any case, he has shown more than enough in a handful of maiden hurdles to suggest that a race of this nature will be within his grasp. Old Bridge improved when runner-up at Bellewstown and he should pick up a race before long, while Onyx Storm and Dunkerque are others to consider.
