Forecasts

Wisconsin (4/9), Steel Prince (10/3), Lucknow (10/1), Harrana (11/1), Shabdiz (14/1), Awareness (16/1), Peace Maker (25/1), Born By The Sea (33/1), Almontaser (100/1)

STEEL PRINCE ran well when finishing runner-up at Limerick on his debut last month and with the ground conditions likely to be similar here and the extra furlong looking to be in his favour he can break his maiden here. Wisconsin ran well on her debut at Leopardstown earlier this month and is taken to claim second for last years winning trainer ahead of Harrana who represents leading connections in this.
