Forecasts

Hiawatha (7/4), Mister Mister (9/4), Keep In Touch (4/1), Gulf Of Mexico (9/2), Hippodrome (5/1), Village Voice (14/1), Speirling Beag (25/1)

Verdict

Perhaps best to focus on the Aidan O'Brien trio. The drop back to 7f didn't work out for HIAWATHA last time but he retains potential as a stayer and is narrowly preferred to Gulf of Mexico and Hippodrome.

  1. HIAWATHA (IRE)
  2. GULF OF MEXICO (IRE)
  3. HIPPODROME (IRE)
