Forecasts

Geralt Of Rivia (6/4), Abbey's Dream (4/1), States Of Thunder (5/1), Gwendolina (17/2), Molly Valentine (17/2), Vasilissa (9/1), Impulsive Lady (14/1), Angel Time (66/1)

GERALT OF RIVIA performed with credit in a trio of deeper nurseries than this to end 2022, and with 7f sure to suit, he's a very persuasive option. Vasilissa is bred to be better than this grade so she's respected, with recent Newcastle winner Abbey's Dream completing the shortlist.
