Forecasts

Grand Sancy (5/4), Cause Toujours (9/4), Denmead (7/2), Black Key (8/1), Lough Derg Diamond (66/1)

A cracking opener. Black Key is arguably the one to beat if he can pick up where he left off in Ireland, but GRAND SANCY goes well on a sound surface, and it taken to continue his progress since wind surgery. Neither Cause Toujours nor Denmead can be discounted.
