Forecasts

Sylvan Warrior (10/3), Arilena (10/3), Gaelic Dancer (4/1), Lonely As A Cloud (7/1), Phala Millions (8/1), One Party (8/1), Inafix (17/2), In The Ether (14/1), Princess Lola (20/1), Together Again (25/1), Wings Of Nike (33/1), Bregardt (40/1)

Verdict

GAELIC DANCER continues to operate somewhere near current peak and is much the one to aim at. Sylvan Warrior is marginally preferred for second, while One Party could also get a look-in.

  1. Gaelic Dancer4/1
  2. Sylvan Warrior10/3
