Forecasts

Come Dancing (4/1), Kuraka (9/2), Justified (9/2), Mise Raftaire (9/2), Rare Clouds (6/1), Inn The Bull (15/2), Voodoo Doll (9/1), George Bancroft (10/1), Steady Away (28/1), Samos Island (33/1)

Verdict

Cases can be made for several of these. Marginal preference is for INN THE BULL, who found things happening too quickly over 2m here last time and is better judged on his solid effort off this mark at Ludlow in May. Irish-import Mise Raftaire is next on the list ahead of Come Dancing, while the likes of Justified, Kuraka and Rare Clouds all make each-way appeal.

  1. INN THE BULL (GER)
  2. MISE RAFTAIRE (IRE)
  3. COME DANCING (IRE)
