Forecasts

Shantou Flyer (4/9), Law Of Gold (9/4), Dundrum Wood (12/1), Keltus (33/1), Tusa Eire (150/1)

Verdict

It's hard to look beyond SHANTOU FLYER, who is head and shoulders above these rivals. He was firmly in command when David Maxwell fell off at the last at Wincanton (a race eventually won by the re-opposing Keltus) last month and can gain some compensation. Law of Gold is preferred to Dundrum Wood for forecast purposes.

  1. SHANTOU FLYER (IRE)

  3. DUNDRUM WOOD (IRE)
