Forecasts

Timeless Treaty (9/2), Billy Lee Swagger (6/1), I A Connect (6/1), Jordans (6/1), A Dream To Share (7/1), San Hilario (15/2), Must Go Now (12/1), Ms Agartha Yeats (12/1), West Away (18/1), Kool One (18/1), Good Time Jonny (20/1), Noble Birth (25/1), Black Bamboo (25/1), No Looking Back (25/1), Da Capo Glory (25/1), Thornleigh Frank (28/1), Nas Na Riogh (28/1), Goodie Girl (28/1), Feud (40/1), Granville Street (50/1), Railway Hurricane (66/1), Getaway Charlie (80/1)

Lots with chances but it could pay to side with Joseph O'Brien's ex-French recruit JORDANS who showed some very smart form over fences last term and reverts to hurdles with the prospect of much better to come. The handily-weighted Black Bamboo heads a long list of dangers that include handicap debutant A Dream To Share along with Must Go Now, Goodie Girl and I A Connect.
