Forecasts

Jungle Cove (5/4), Laurel Grove (3/1), War Leader (7/2), Quick Quick (10/1), Sailing South (12/1), Garsman (12/1), Rare Kylla (20/1), Some Nightmare (25/1), Sun And Scent (40/1), Rotokura (66/1), Dragon Flight (66/1), Lady Stark (100/1)

The War Front colt, WAR LEADER is taken to get off the mark at the third attempt for connections in the opener. The Aidan O'Brien yard hold a 40% strike rate with their juveniles at this meeting in the last four years, winning with Japan and Mount Tabora at the Festival 12 months ago. The Jessica Harrington-trained, Jungle Cove can emerge as the biggest danger following a number of solid and consistent efforts since June. Laurel Grove, Sailing South and Quick Quick can battle for remaining prize money.
