Forecasts

Signor Ferrari (5/2), Solomon Coop (4/1), Superior Force (9/2), Notforalongtime (13/2), Little Keilee (7/1), Roman Harry (10/1), Skontonovski (10/1), Nezeeh (14/1), El Bello (16/1), Nika Pika (33/1), Super Over (50/1)

Though SIGNOR FERRARI was put in his place both starts over this trip in December, he won well over 7f at Cork last spring and, having weakened out of contention late on in 10.7f contests the last twice, dropping back to this trip may well work in his favour. Little Keilee will be a threat if on-song, while Skontonovski is also shortlisted.
