Forecasts

Chasing Fire (15/8), Readysteadybeau (9/4), Geryville (7/2), Marown (8/1), African Dance (10/1), Francky Du Berlais (20/1), Cooper's Cross (40/1)

AFRICAN DANCE has clearly had his share of problems but he's looked pretty talented when making the track and given he's won after 15 months off in the past, this latest absence isn't a major worry. Readysteadybeau won this race last year and is a threat, as is Chasing Fire, a stablemate of the selection, if his stamina holds.
