Forecasts

Gala Celebration (10/3), Adventureman (9/2), Street Poet (11/2), Pickett's Charge (7/1), Spiritual Star (8/1), Sir Lancelott (10/1), Raashdy (10/1), Berlusca (16/1), Ravenhoe (16/1), Dream Free (18/1), Barca (20/1), Thecornishbarron (33/1), Gealach Ghorm (40/1)

There should be little between old rivals Street Poet and Adventureman, while cases can also be made for Ravenhoe and, in particular, Gala Celebration. SIR LANCELOTT holds similar claims on form, but his latest run left the impression there was more left in the locker and he is taken to confirm that view in an open-looking contest. Gealach Ghorm, Spiritual Star and bottom-weight Dream Free also enter the equation.
