Forecasts

Bobby Boy (5/2), Full Moon (3/1), Hand On Heart (4/1), Medal Of Honour (4/1), Khalaab (5/1), Bond Street (11/2), Gasta (20/1), Santorini Sun (25/1), Silvretta Schwarz (50/1)

Verdict

This could be a useful contest with three unbeaten records going on the line. Hand On Heart and Khalaab impressed in their debut efforts but perhaps BOBBY BOY is the one to stay perfect. He won at Naas in March with Full Moon behind and that rival is one of two from that race to have scored since. Writing off the likes of Bond Street and Medal Of Honour would surely be churlish.
  1. Bobby Boy
  2. Khalaab
  3. Bond Street
