Forecasts

Scandinavia (11/8), Trawlerman (10/3), Caballo De Mar (7/1), Al Riffa (8/1), Rahiebb (8/1), Sweet William (11/1), Carmers (25/1), Dubai Future (40/1), Miss Alpilles (80/1), Furthur (100/1), Al Nayyir (125/1)

Verdict

SCANDINAVIA had to dig a bit deeper than might have been expected to land the odds in a Group 3 at Leopardstown last time, but he again left the impression he was just dossing in front and looks the natural successor to Trawlerman on the staying scene, the latter having reportedly had an interrupted preparation owing to an unusual eye condition. Rahiebb is another fascinating up-and-coming type who warrants plenty of respect.
