Forecasts

Gaelic Flow (9/4), Calarules (5/2), Fenlons Court (4/1), Goodgirlteresa (9/2), Earcomestom (11/2), Snobbery (9/1), Whiskey John (22/1), Lanta's Legacy (33/1), High Wheeler (33/1)

Verdict

A very tricky opener and cases can be made for a few. Earcomestom is knocking on the door and will surely drop in sooner rather than later, and looks sure to play a part in the finish. Fenlons Court and Lanta's Legacy are both potential improvers with their respective yards in good form, and Calarules holds a clear form choice on his recent second. But the market told you a better effort was expected from GAELIC FLOW last time out and he looked all over the winner, only to get tired late on. Expect Bryony Frost to hang on a little longer before kicking for home this time, and if doing so, may hold on.
