Forecasts

Prairie Dancer (10/3), Stuzzikini (7/2), Joyeux Vivo (7/2), Bardenstown Lad (6/1), Charlie Luciano (15/2), No Time To Wait (8/1), Sam Magee (10/1), Emily In Paris (14/1), Ringdufferin (28/1), Drop The Anchor (40/1), La Vega Moon (66/1), Welsh Saint (80/1)

PRAIRIE DANCER ran well on his latest effort in this sphere and, having performed respectably on the Flat last time, he makes most appeal. Bardenstown Lad is an obvious threat if he can reproduce his hurdles form and Stuzzinki should be involved.
