Forecasts

Killeemore Lad (11/4), Curious Bride (9/2), Sceptred Isle (9/2), Barrier (5/1), Firm Belief (15/2), Believe In Science (8/1), Rocky Blue (10/1), Influential Lady (11/1), Cerberus (14/1), The Tide Turns (16/1), Caradoc (16/1), The Vegas Raider (18/1), Honketonk Angel (28/1), Travel On (100/1)

Verdict

Lots with chances. BELIEVE IN SCIENCE is taken to gain an overdue first success on the back of his good running-on Gowran fifth with the promise of more to come over this marathon distance. Curious Bride also arrives on a losing sequence but is weighted to have a say, while in-form pair Caradoc and Killeemore Lad command plenty of respect too.
