Forecasts

Ballyconneely Bay (10/11), Smeaton's Light (7/2), Lafan (7/2), Fayathaan (5/1), Conspiracy (6/1), Bakersboy (8/1), Dashing Dick (14/1), Let's Be Honest (14/1), Northern Cracker (150/1), Sovereign Moon (200/1)

BALLYCONNEELY BAY sets a fair standard on his latest Ascot second and is taken to go one better, although strong market support for well-bred newcomers Lafan and/or Bakersboy would put a slightly different slant on things. Newcastle third Fayathaan should also get involved.
