Forecasts

Glengouly (11/8), The Flier Begley (3/1), Keepthefaithinme (15/2), Sandor Clegane (8/1), Gino Drummer Boy (17/2), Laffite (17/2), Typical Thomas (16/1), Gonfalonier (33/1), Any Biscuits (33/1), Grace Shelby (66/1), Billable Grant (80/1), Memories Never Die (150/1)

The bumper GLENGOULY finished third in during the spring produced several next-time-out winners and with fitness no issue given the yard he represents, he is taken to make a winning return to action. The Flier Begley is open to progress and is feared most, with Keepthefaithinme also of interest.
