Forecasts

Kokura (11/10), Algeria (3/1), Ubume (5/1), Three Sevens (7/1), Funny Little Ways (10/1), Siradjan (20/1), Duncannon Power (20/1), Rio Ocho (25/1), Rosiewood (33/1), Ranger Bob (33/1), Christines Angel (40/1), North Street (50/1), New Wreck (50/1), Joe's Joy (50/1), Clever Currency (50/1), Power Of Lazarus (66/1), Hisnameis Mrdevitt (100/1)

The Johnny Murtagh-trained KOKURA can get off the mark for connections at the fourth time of asking in this contest. The colt posted a career best effort finishing second of 14 over C&D behind Mr Mooj in a 6K maiden last month and can get the better of the Michael O'Callaghan-trained Algeria who is likely to improve from stable debut run here last month. Ubume for trainer Joseph O'Brien finished behind Kokura at the end of last month but looks able to hit the frame along with Three Sevens.
