Forecasts

The Black Tiger (11/4), The Prairie (7/2), Harsh (4/1), Walsingham (9/2), Duke Cador (6/1), Dubawi Delight (10/1), New Variant (22/1), Pinot Gris (50/1), No Big Deal (66/1)

Verdict

HARSH sets a good standard and may do better still, so he's a straightforward choice despite the presence of an interesting newcomer in the shape of The Black Tiger. The Prairie is open to improvement, so he also merits strong consideration.

  1. HARSH
  2. THE BLACK TIGER (USA)
  3. THE PRAIRIE (IRE)
