Forecasts

Belmont Avenue (3/1), Bonte Moi (4/1), Santa Barbara (9/2), Snap Chap (13/2), Always Waitin (8/1), Kailash (10/1), My Minervina (10/1), Hector De Maris (11/1), Bamboo Bay (18/1), Men Of Dreams (20/1), Star Official (22/1), Kalaroun (22/1), True Artist (33/1), Sing Till Dawn (33/1), Captain Middleton (33/1), Trusty Scout (40/1), Lunar Power (50/1), Dazzling Spirit (50/1), Coligni (66/1), Earl Of Tyrone (100/1), Cu Roi (150/1)

SNAP CHAP produced a promising first effort when a never-nearer fourth at Gowran last week and tops the shortlist on these terms. There are plenty of potential dangers, headed by My Minervina and newcomer Santa Barbara.
