Forecasts

Emphatic Answer (5/2), Monday (10/3), New Emerald Bay (7/2), Giuliana (18/5), Flirting Bridge (12/1), Zumoradda (14/1), Summer Ambition (16/1), Sardonyx (25/1), Bela Boom (25/1), Sky Lewis (33/1), Moddy Poddle (40/1)

MONDAY makes obvious paper appeal and is selected to make a winning debut for Aidan O'Brien, with confidence increased should the betting speak in her favour. Emphatic Answer can build on a promising opening effort at Cork and may provide the main threat ahead of Giuliana, who was better than the result on her Navan debut.
