Forecasts

Tulip Dress (15/8), Many Dreams (2/1), Stormbound (9/4), Shifting Star (3/1), Galinthias (6/1), Carcharias (8/1)

Several of these have form around here and it looks an awkward betting heat where it won’t be a surprise to see Many Dreams improve further for the Gary Moore yard. Shifting Star and Stormbound are closely matched on their last meeting here and there won’t be much between then. It may pay to take a chance with GALINTHIAS though who did well to finish as close as he did last time out having been party to pushing an overly strong pace and he might have some improvement left yet as he’s pretty lightly raced still.
