Forecasts

Walsingham (7/4), Pivotal Revive (2/1), Alexander John (5/1), Shanadar (17/2), Highland Rahy (11/1), Jack Red Cloud (16/1), Firm Handshake (22/1), Limestone Red (50/1), Gujarat (100/1), Glencullen (150/1), Go Til Its Over (150/1)

Verdict

PIVOTAL REVIVE has found just the one too strong on all 3 of his starts but his form is progressive and the fitting of headgear can see him go one better. Alexander John and Walsingham are others to consider.

  1. PIVOTAL REVIVE
  2. ALEXANDER JOHN (IRE)
  3. WALSINGHAM (IRE)
