Forecasts

St Lawrence Gap (5/2), My Direction (5/1), Killiney Court (6/1), Sharjah (13/2), Zanjabeel (7/1), Beautiful Ben (8/1), Nicaragua (10/1), The Last Marju (12/1), Coolfighter (20/1), Sackfullofdreams (50/1)

A few of these will be hoping the weather gods are favourable and not too much rain falls between now and race time. ST LAWRENCE GAP has been in good form on the Flat and still looks on a workable mark now returned to timber. Still not fully exposed and there may well be a bit more to come. He can take first prize ahead of top weight Zanjabeel, another going the right way and this track should suit. Nicaragua may well set the race up for the others but shouldn't be allowed an easy lead or the others may find her away and gone before they can get to her. Beautiful Ben is another to consider in a trappy event.
