Forecasts

Goshen (6/4), Song For Someone (6/1), Verdana Blue (17/2), Silver Streak (10/1), Sceau Royal (10/1), Ch'tibello (11/1), Ballyandy (14/1), Summerville Boy (14/1), Stormy Ireland (14/1), Call Me Lord (28/1)

Verdict

GOSHEN's 2 Flat runs this autumn have been a shade underwhelming but he was running away with the Triumph at the Festival when unseating at the final flight and looks more than capable of making his mark in open company this season. Song For Someone, Silver Streak and Sceau Royal are others who look sure to have a say in a very competitive Grade 2.

  1. GOSHEN (FR)
  2. SONG FOR SOMEONE (GER)
  3. SILVER STREAK (IRE)
