Forecasts

Dhafeera (11/8), Gougane Barra (7/4), Curly Girl (3/1), Kiss The Wind (4/1), Smart Stinger (5/1), Aubineau (10/1), Luna's Luck (14/1), Cool No More (20/1), Samuel Phelps (20/1), Alpine Pass (25/1), Dash D'Or (33/1), Bunnie Eyes (33/1), Dravid (66/1), Look Of Love (66/1)

Verdict

Ger Lyons' duo here appear the strongest candidates and with Colin Keane not available deciding the pecking order isn't entirely straight forward. DHAFEERA gets the vote of the pair after close seconds in both starts over 7f and 1m and she may still have room to improve. Kiss The Wind is top-rated and has gone close on a couple of occasions herself. Curly Girl is pretty consistent and not far off the level required particularly off her C&D form so she can't be ruled out either.
  1. Dhafeera
  2. Kiss The Wind
  3. Curly Girl
