Forecasts

Centaq (9/4), Aswellasabentley (5/2), Bringsty (5/1), Someone's Wish (6/1), Parkgarve (13/2), Chanceawetmorning (18/1), King Bob (20/1), Garadice (22/1), Clonclough Lady (33/1), Flashthelights (40/1)

It's likely that ASWELLASABENTLEY will be suited by a stiffer test than this in time, but he nevertheless showed enough on debut for the Gavin Cromwell yard during the spring to suggest that a race of this nature would be within his grasp. Someone's Wish is feared most, with Centaq and Bringsty also shortlisted, in that order of preference.
