Forecasts

Cloonainra (10/11), Saracen Beau (5/2), Good To Be Alive (10/3), Go Go Chicago (17/2), Gonnino (50/1), Top Flight Century (66/1), Wild Reiver (150/1), Thunder Gap (300/1), King Gold Boy (300/1)

Preference is for CLOONAINRA, who has already reached a fairly useful level in this sphere and a reproduction of both her runner-up efforts either side of the turn of the year may well be enough to add to her debut success. Another Irish raider Good To Be Alive heads up the dangers having possibly found his second start coming too soon at Naas just over 6 weeks ago, with Saracen Beau seemingly best of the rest.
