Forecasts

Sanshiro (10/3), Si Senior (10/3), Bid For Chester (7/2), Mr Saturday (4/1), Glamorously (13/2), Veracidad (10/1), Promo Queen (18/1), Excel In Space (33/1)

Though he went out like a light at the Curragh recently, MR SATURDAY shaped well when runner-up on his first two starts and is well worth another chance now moving into nursery company. Veracidad is next on the list, though Glamorously needs a second look and Sanshiro is also worthy of consideration.
