Forecasts

The Caretaker (7/2), Hardwired (4/1), Galileo Dance (4/1), Secret Artist (5/1), Shakespeare's Word (11/2), Thedevilscoachman (8/1), Outa Dodge (14/1), Deealli (25/1), Pass It On (25/1), S'all Good Man (33/1), Lord Rivers (66/1)

Opposing the Joseph O'Brien/Tom Hamilton partnership in bumpers is proving futile lately and they bid to make it six straight winners in this sphere with GALILEO DANCE. In a field of newcomers, he's got solid credentials on paper, allied to the trainer/jockey form. The Caretaker is a close second pick on breeding while it won't be any sort of shock to find Hardwired or Thedevilscoachman getting involved at the business end.
