Forecasts

Charlie My Boy (9/4), Testflight (3/1), Imperial Measure (9/2), Shalott (5/1), Zoran (13/2), Ballygoe (7/1), Only Fools (14/1), Hill Station (22/1), Lady Amy (40/1), Wellwillya (40/1), Dame Prestige (40/1), Inspector Lynley (50/1), Galactic Glow (66/1), Bay Sam Bella (80/1)

Verdict

TESTFLIGHT is still relatively unexposed and shaped really well on his return at Exeter last month. He makes plenty of appeal. Charlie My Boy and Imperial Measure rate the principal dangers.

  1. TESTFLIGHT
  2. CHARLIE MY BOY (IRE)
  3. IMPERIAL MEASURE (IRE)
