Forecasts

Let Me Pass (15/8), Kauri Cliffs (9/4), Doolin Dancer (11/4), Optimistic Belief (5/1), Battle Angel (7/1), Sea Sessions (10/1), Hissy Fit (14/1), Captain Middleton (14/1), Summer Ambition (18/1), Twilight Tadhg (25/1)

LET ME PASS showed more than first time up despite not getting the clearest of passages at Cork last month. He gets the vote to come out on top at the third time of asking with further improvement a distinct possibility. Kauri Cliffs has shown fair form in both his starts so far so gets the vote for second, ahead of newcomer Optimistic Belief and Hissy Fit.
