Forecasts

Bad Medicine (11/4), George Handel (9/2), Anatolian Silver (5/1), Juan Carlos (6/1), Slainte Mhath (6/1), Home Reef (7/1), Three Cheers (8/1), Only A Poet (14/1), Red William (14/1)

Verdict

THREE CHEERS sets the bar high if this different trip to usual isn't an inconvenience. Anatolian Silver is a marginal preference for second, while Bad Medicine shouldn't be ruled out.

  1. Three Cheers8/1
  2. Anatolian Silver5/1
  3. Bad Medicine11/4
