Forecasts

Goblet Of Fire (6/4), Bulletin (3/1), Pearl River (5/1), Sixpack (11/2), Arqoob (15/2)

Verdict

Preference is for PEARL RIVER who soon got back on track returned to a longer trip when fifth at Goodwood last time. With this extra distance promising to suit, the 3-y-o gets the vote ahead of the in-form Goblet of Fire, with last year's winner of the race Arqoob also considered.

  1. PEARL RIVER
  2. GOBLET OF FIRE
  3. ARQOOB (IRE)
