Forecasts

Zoffany's Delight (5/2), The Last Knight (11/4), No Patience (4/1), The Blue Panther (11/2), Cursory Exam (15/2), Hissy Fit (9/1), Moonhall Girl (25/1), Equulei (150/1)

ZOFFANY'S DELIGHT gets the nod on the back of his near miss in this grade at Naas where he was just under a length ahead of The Last Knight, who renews rivalry on the same terms. This step up to 7f should suit Joseph O'Brien's charge. The Blue Panther wasn't disgraced in a valuable sales race recently, but his best efforts have been at around 5f, so this new trip is a concern.
