Forecasts

Verdict

HIGHER KINGDOM returned to form when second in a competitive event at the Curragh last time and a performance of similar merit could be enough to go one better. Chavajod is a big danger and No Niki No is one of several others for whom a case can be made.

  1. HIGHER KINGDOM
  2. CHAVAJOD
  3. NO NIKI NO (IRE)
