Forecasts

Alcander (10/3), All Body And Soul (7/2), Prince Charmin' (9/2), Ligeti (6/1), St Lawrence Gap (7/1), Grand Partner (12/1), Bottleofsmoke (14/1), Sang Tiger (16/1), Universal Focus (16/1), Ormskirk (20/1), Shukhov (25/1), Edge Of Reason (33/1)

Verdict

ST LAWRENCE GAP may still be a maiden but he went close last time behind a well-handicapped Rashaan and he should give another good account here. Alcander should do well returned to this sphere off a fair looking mark while All Body And Soul and Ormskirk complete the shortlist.
  1. St Lawrence Gap
  2. Alcander
  3. All Body And Soul
