Forecasts

Gaelic Rambler (7/4), Non Stop (10/3), Xcitations (5/1), Harel Du Marais (11/2), Cobbler's Boy (9/1), Ironica De Thaix (14/1), Grey Diamond (18/1), In This World (50/1)

An uncompetitive race which can go the way of GAELIC RAMBLER, who has been lightly raced under Rules to date and caught the eye under considerate handling at Southwell last month. Xcitations confirmed he's still capable at this level when runner-up at Leicester last time and will pose the biggest threat. Non Stop can complete the 1-2-3.
