Forecasts

Spelga (9/4), Make The Switch (11/4), Take A Turn (9/2), Crassus (5/1), Drakensberg (9/1), Nashy (10/1), Kalanoura (14/1), Malbas (22/1), Canning (25/1), Itsalonglongroad (25/1), Sovereigns Bright (25/1), Romantically (28/1), Nibiru (28/1), Maysonlight (33/1), Vischio (33/1), Reflectionist (50/1), Sayesse (50/1)

Verdict

CRASSUS, a recent winner over hurdles, looks potentially well treated back in this sphere, so he's given the nod to come out on top. Spelga is going through a good spell and ought to run well again, with Kalanoura and Drakensberg others to consider.

  1. CRASSUS (IRE)
  2. SPELGA
  3. KALANOURA (IRE)
