15/2

Forecasts

Sallaal (2/1), Queen Of Thunder (3/1), Norwalk Havoc (5/1), Mutasarref (11/2), Fingerpaint (15/2), Soft Winds (9/1), Serengeti (16/1), Rock Of Cashel (18/1), Gun Carriage (33/1), Touted Plan (400/1)

Roger Varian's SALLAAL looks to have more to offer so edges the vote in this intriguing listed event. Ger Lyons' Mutasarref also has the form to play a big part and heads the dangers, although Dermot Weld's unexposed filly Fingerpaint must also enter calculations.
