Forecasts

Future Gamble (13/8), Ariovistus (11/4), One More Star (4/1), Palace Attack (11/2), Jordan (8/1), Kissing Machine (16/1), Eiger Sanction (25/1), Huehuetenango (28/1)

Verdict

FUTURE GAMBLE is in a good vein of form and should prove hard to catch. Palace Attack is top of the dangers, while Ariovistus is another that merits respect.

  2. Palace Attack11/2
  3. Ariovistus11/4
