Forecasts

Silver Stardust (15/8), Equestrian Affair (4/1), Euphoric (6/1), Saint Anastasia (10/1), Daleel (12/1), Dream Scape (12/1), Global Gunner (12/1), Ideal Time (14/1), Flying Peter (14/1), Essos (18/1), Ray Flambe (22/1), Higher Purpose (22/1), Fortune Of Gold (28/1), Ivalo's Prince (40/1), Homer Fidget (99/1), At The Opera (99/1)

EUPHORIC is operating at a solid level lately and has fair claims. Silver Stardust looks second best, while Ideal Time is one to bear in mind too.
