Forecasts

Supreme Danehill (9/4), Samarnni (11/4), Olofi (10/3), Sybarite (5/1), Street Entertainer (8/1), Mr Cardle (66/1)

Verdict

SUPREME DANEHILL wouldn't be as good as one or two of these under Rules but he's really found his form in point-to-points and can break the hearts of Olofi and Street Entertainer, both of whom have slight questions over this trip, especially if it's going to be a strongly run contest. A good pace should also suit the enigmatic Sybarite who tends to drop himself out before rattling home. 1. Supreme Danehill 2. Samarnni 3. Sybarite
