Forecasts

Celtic Times (10/11), Silver Surfer (4/1), Andreas Vesalius (11/2), King Of Bavaria (7/1), Magniffico (11/1), Albion Square (16/1), Arewecrystalclear (25/1), Satin Snake (33/1), Pepsiwithacap (80/1), Rhythm Of Zain (80/1)

CELTIC TIMES might need further ideally, but he ran to a high level on debut at Navan 2 weeks ago, and looks the one they all have to beat. Silver Surfer improved markedly from his first run to his second, and is certainly bred to be a sprinter. King of Bavaria cost plenty, and he is likely to be well in the mix if the market speaks in his favour.
