Forecasts

Imperial Dream (7/2), Send Harry (4/1), Land Of The Giants (6/1), Tofino (7/1), Cali Case (11/1), Smoke Them Out (12/1), Bint Elnadim Star (12/1), Green Icon (12/1), Oiche Rua (14/1), Late Night Talking (16/1), Best Suggestion (18/1), Spanish Temptress (20/1), Flynn Ryder (20/1), Hugo's Girl (28/1)

SEND HARRY is yet to win but is holding his form notably well and looks sure to make another bold bid stepping back up to a trip he's unexposed at. Cali Case appeals as the type to improve again now handicapping and is second choice, with the class-dropping Imperial Dream completing the shortlist.
