Forecasts

Empirestateofmind (9/2), Gleneagle Bay (11/2), Akecheta (13/2), Indigo Five (13/2), Booyea (8/1), Orandi (9/1), San Aer (11/1), Rhythm King (14/1), Titanium (14/1), Simply Sideways (18/1), Dutch Gold (20/1), Alessia Fernanda (20/1), No More Porter (22/1), Money Dancer (25/1), Clear Quartz (28/1), Complete Fiction (33/1), Earls (33/1), Casanova (50/1)

Verdict

GLENEAGLE BAY made a very encouraging start to his handicap career when second in a big field at Leopardstown in September and can build on that and strike for rookie trainer Stephen Thorne. Akecheta, the mount of Billy Lee, heads the many dangers along with Orandi and British raider Empirestateofmind.
