Forecasts

West Of Wichita (5/2), Clonmacash (5/2), Ocean Baroque (11/4), Chandigah (4/1), Answer Me Nay (10/1), Buddy Batt (10/1), Alabama Calling (11/1), Not A Sinner (16/1), Rhasidat (25/1), Comein Comein (25/1), Call Me Culann (28/1), Sovereign City (33/1), Sanshiro (50/1), Strong Possibility (80/1), Chou Chou (100/1)

CHANDIGAH tooked a marked step forward from his debut when runner-up to a promising sort at the Curragh recently and probably won't need to improve again to go one better. West of Wichita and Clonmacash look the chief dangers.
