Forecasts

Peace Charter (6/4), Harpocrates (11/4), Nope (5/1), Latin Five (8/1), Prince Of Naples (9/1), Pronouncement (10/1), Geometrical (20/1), Mount Mckinley (33/1), Lady Zell (66/1)

The highly tried PEACE CHARTER can get back to winning ways here following a couple of fine runs in defeat in Group company at this venue and when last seen in June at the Curragh. The daughter of War Front won over C&D on debut in April and can get the better of Ballydoyle representative Harpocrates third in the Chesham at the Royal meeting in June and the Joseph O'Brien-trained Latin Five, a winner last time out at the Curragh last month. The Johnny Murtagh-trained Pronouncement and Nope for Jessica Harrington should not be easily dismissed.
