Forecasts

Ravenhill Road (1/2), Imperial Eloquence (2/1), Golden Town (8/1), Michele Strogoff (25/1), Inniscastle Lad (28/1), Joke Dancer (33/1), Mutawaasel (33/1), Porto Du Sud (66/1), Strong Team (100/1), Percy Verence (125/1), Bygones For Coins (150/1), Aye Aye Enya (200/1)

Verdict

Golden Town will have a bit to find with a few of these but knows his way around and could again be vying for a place in the frame. A more serious player in the outcome should, however, be Imperial Eloquence, who could be a danger to all if he completes. Inniscastle Lad is a potential improver, while Joke Dancer merits a market check and the same applies to Porto Du Sud and Michele Strogoff. However, RAVENHILL ROAD is unbeaten under rules so far can clearly go well when fresh, and he has shown enough to suggest that he might be capable of maintaining his 100 per cent record now that he goes hurdling.
  1. Ravenhill Road
  2. Imperial Eloquence
  3. Michele Strogoff
