Forecasts

Edwardian (4/6), Gloucester (4/1), Carnegie Hall (9/2), Branding (8/1), Perfect Judgement (9/1), Amerigo Vespucci (9/1), Glamorously (16/1), Thatsthebestoneyet (33/1), Rhasidat (125/1), Dabirsim Flyer (150/1), Barley Cove (200/1)

EDWARDIAN was too green to show his true level starting out at Tipperary in the spring and sure to step up plenty on that, he will take some stopping. Branding cost plenty this year and showed enough at the Curragh to think he can make his presence felt, with Gloucester open to significant progress.
