Forecasts

Gold Des Bois (10/11), Pienta (9/4), Champagne Gold (7/2), Bonarc (9/1), Mighty Tom (14/1), Tango Charlie (18/1), Amlad (50/1), Mist On The Bog (66/1), Give Me A Moment (80/1), Bowser (100/1), Profound (100/1), Bartleys Boy (150/1), Mister Saxman (150/1), Rio Storm (200/1)

GOLD DES BOIS ended his time with Jessica Harrington with a career-best effort at Naas in March, finding only one too good on the day. That form has been boosted since and he's fancied to make a bold bid on debut for another leading outfit. Pienta rates the chief threat on return to action, ahead of Bonarc and Rules debutant Champagne Gold.
