Forecasts

The Bear Trap (6/4), Admiral Mae (7/2), Liamo (9/2), Veracidad (13/2), Siegel (9/1), Tartaraghan (12/1), Vangelis (16/1), Stall The Ball (125/1)

THE BEAR TRAP took a big step forward when second in a nursery last time and on that evidence has a clear form advantage on these terms. Admiral Mae is open to improvement after an encouraging debut but needs quite a big step forward. Liamo is a very interesting newcomer and market support for him should be noted.
