Forecasts

Alabama Pearl (11/8), Sectarius (11/4), Perseids (11/4), Time Tells All (13/2), Nouvel Espoir (16/1), Hot To Foxtrot (16/1), Bungle Inthedesert (20/1), A Day In Deauville (25/1), Summer Holiday (33/1), Berlina (66/1), Tortured Soul (100/1), Neddies Boy (150/1), Dawn Noir (150/1)

Despite going off at unflattering odds, SECTARIUS offered plenty to work on when third starting out at Galway a month ago and with improvement forthcoming, he gets the nod in favour of Alabama Pearl and Perseids.
