Forecasts

Indian Chief (5/2), Archipeligo (10/3), Amy Blair (7/2), Cliff Bay (4/1), Polar Forest (10/1), Bahamian C (11/1), Stardrifter (12/1), Galilee Chapel (25/1)

Verdict

If the rains have arrived to soften conditions before this, then Indian Chief would very much be shortlist material, but a things stand it will be plenty quick enough for him and preference is for ARCHIPELIGO, who is very competitive in this grade and from this mark. He does have to put an ordinary effort from last time behind him and the same goes for Cliff Bay, who otherwise has claims. Bahamian C is worth a market check from this mark and with Paul Hanagan up.
