Forecasts

Tar Heel (6/5), Swiss Ace (2/1), Lightning Boltz (9/2), Cursory Exam (14/1), Tabarly (16/1), Brokers Tip (20/1), Haigney (50/1), Jazz Dreamers (50/1)

All eyes will be on the speedily-bred Swiss Ace who is related to plenty of winners. Stable runners sometimes need a run but this Kingman colt may have too much for these rivals nonetheless. Tar Heel was not given a hard ride on his debut at Navan earlier this month and should be fitter and straighter here. Brokers Tip showed plenty of confidence on his debut at the Curragh last week. He should get closer today after weakening close home last time.
