Forecasts

Autonomous Cloud (11/4), Sainte Doctor (7/2), If Not For Dylan (4/1), Ladronne (11/2), Stratagem (17/2), Erne River (10/1), Northern Poet (14/1), Magna Sam (16/1), Almazhar Garde (22/1), Chavez (40/1)

Verdict

IF NOT FOR DYLAN could be difficult to peg back if getting into a rhythm on the front-end, while reliable mare Sainte Doctor is relatively unexposed around 3m and looks a danger. Magna Sam bypassed this year's Edinburgh National but may make more of an impact following another breathing operation.
