Forecasts

Gulliver's Travels (10/11), Nusret (5/2), First Emperor (4/1), Downing Street (14/1), Foreign Policy (14/1), Mercury Mission (16/1), Dream Footsteps (25/1), Magellan Strait (28/1), Petram (33/1), Fourofakind (33/1), Calvesi (40/1), Black Soul (40/1), Titan Jack (66/1), Zebos Beanos (66/1), Saddle In The Rain (150/1), Our Scholar (200/1), Emeric (250/1)

Aidan O'Brien's choicely-bred Galileo colt GULLIVER'S TRAVELS made a very promising start when a tenderly-handled fourth at Leopardstown and can take a big step forward and open his account now. Both First Emperor and Nusret have shown some fair form and can chase home the selection in that order.
