Forecasts

Solwara One (1/7), Macfin (15/2), Tashunka (10/1), Druim Samhraidh (40/1), Etoile Du Matin (66/1), Classic Ruler (200/1), Distant Universe (400/1)

Verdict

SOLWARA ONE put up another borderline useful effort in just failing to defy a penalty at Exeter and, with that form already proving solid, he is very difficult to oppose. Macfin likely has more to offer back up in trip and looks the one to follow the selection home.

  1. SOLWARA ONE (IRE)
