Forecasts

Geronimo (5/2), Beau Sancy (5/2), Mac N Cheese (7/1), Carrigdhoun (12/1), Buffalo Ballet (12/1), Kilbree Chief (12/1), Rainy City (16/1), Onderun (16/1), Angus Milan (20/1), Imperial Prince (22/1), So Satisfied (25/1)

Verdict

The consistent Geronimo is open to bit of improvement over fences and could have a say here, while Buffalo Ballet is another who could go well without quite being good enough to win. Rainy City and Carrigdhoun are not ruled out, but the outcome could rest between Mac N Cheese and the improving BEAU SANCY, and the latter is just preferred.
  1. Beau Sancy
  2. Mac N Cheese
  3. Geronimo
