Forecasts

Aphelios (11/4), Beyond Equal (5/1), Spring Is Sprung (6/1), Cairn Gorm (13/2), Antiphon (9/1), Treacherous (11/1), Object (12/1), Swayze (16/1), The Lamplighter (16/1), Tyger Bay (16/1), Mighty Gurkha (22/1), Akkeringa (40/1)

APHELIOS has yet to finish outside of the top 3 in 10 career starts and has done little wrong since joining his current connections, finding only one too strong on his last 3 outings. The 3-y-o looks ready to go one better this time around, with Cairn Gorm feared most having shown signs that he is on his way back last time. The Lamplighter completes the shortlist.
