Forecasts

Sonnetina (10/3), Cashel (4/1), Zhukovsky (13/2), Zahirah (8/1), Potters Question (9/1), River Sprite (10/1), Fivehundredmiles (12/1), Apache Blaze (12/1), Mirakuhl (16/1), Lily Beach (20/1), Havana Sunset (25/1), Irish Times (25/1), Penny Diamond (66/1), Faregaan (66/1)

ZHUKOVSKY was well placed but deserves full credit for his recent third here given the pair in front of him won next time. A mile should be fine and with Ray Dawson back in the saddle he could be set to open his account. River Sprite improved from out of the blue when scoring at Newcastle and has a good chance again if that wasn't a one-off. Sonnetina is also considered.
