Forecasts

Spirit Of Gabz (9/4), Prince Of Kildare (7/2), Sky Pilot (7/2), Satyagraha (4/1), Mount Darwin (17/2), Knowmore (9/1), Force Publique (10/1), After Hours (16/1), Rock My Boat (40/1)

SPIRIT OF GABZ could scarcely be in better form right now and can win again. Satyagraha is a danger, while Knowmore has minor place claims.
