Forecasts

Tiverton (8/11), Pivotal Trigger (2/1), Cairo (7/2), Pearl Of Australia (12/1), Serious Challenge (14/1), Man Of Eden (25/1), Bossy Parker (25/1), Malacanne (40/1)

TIVERTON and Pivotal Trigger have already shown more than enough to suggest they will win races and the vote goes to the former, who should take a step forward from his Curragh debut. Cairo is obviously an interesting newcomer and market support for him should be noted.
