Forecasts

Sugaree (11/4), Aird (3/1), Astar (7/2), Deadly Nightshade (11/2), World Peace (12/1), Alalcance (14/1), Hey Whatever (14/1), Fanaigi Linn (20/1), Yamalia Star (33/1), Portunalia (50/1), Silver Salver (100/1), You Make Me Smile (200/1)

Preference is for AIRD, who was returning from 8 months off when an encouraging third at the Curragh recently and remains open to improvement. Astar and Sugaree rate the principal dangers.
