Forecasts

Glengouly (11/10), Prevaricate (9/4), Gracchus De Balme (4/1), Part Time Farmer (11/1), Donaire (14/1), O'Toole (25/1), Oscar West (40/1), Captain Planet (50/1), Look Dont Touch (66/1), Shore (100/1), Little Big Rocky (250/1)

Verdict

Gordon Elliott's PREVARICATE is the percentage call after his encouraging runner-up effort at Down Royal in December but strong market support for winning pointers Glengouly and/or Gracchus de Balme would put a slightly different slant on things.

  1. PREVARICATE (IRE)
  2. GLENGOULY (FR)
