Forecasts

Forest Bihan (4/7), William Of Orange (3/1), Lough Salt (7/1), Morning With Ivan (14/1), The Resdev Way (25/1), Pantomime (50/1)

Verdict

FOREST BIHAN will have far bigger fish to fry than this in the weeks which lie ahead (weather permitting of course), so in some respects that makes him vulnerable. However, whilst this contest makes little appeal for betting purposes, he's far classier than any of his five rivals, and class alone should see him prevail. William Of Orange is a shade quirky, but the sneaking suspicion is that he might just take to racing on Tapeta at this galloping track, and he's preferred for the forecast ahead of Lough Salt.
