Forecasts

Harpocrates (11/8), Sunday Sovereign (11/4), Arizona (10/3), Alligator Alley (4/1), Daoub (8/1), Historic Heart (12/1), Galactic Grey (12/1), Dragon Ryker (20/1), Prince Of Naples (25/1), Princess Mayson (25/1), Stage Power (33/1), Never Mistabeat (33/1), Half Nutz (33/1), The Peckhampouncer (50/1), David Garrick (50/1), Eircode (66/1), Getawiggleon (66/1), Tough Character (66/1)

Verdict

The Aidan O'Brien-trained HARPOCRATES won't have to be anything special to land the spoils in the first-race of the Spring festival at the redeveloped Curragh. The Invincible Spirit colt out of a Galileo mare, who holds a Derby entry, can see off the attentions, under Ryan Moore, of stablemate Arizona and Sunday Sovereign who can build on Naas debut run here. The Jim Bolger-trained Historic Heart looks the most interesting of the remaining newcomers.
