Forecasts

Royal Scholar (2/1), Eglish (5/2), Bringloid (9/2), Burning Lake (7/1), Foreign Legion (8/1), Sunset Nova (11/1), Muraahin (14/1), Talk Now (18/1), Elusive Spirit (20/1), Ustinov (20/1), Sassy Dancer (22/1), Lansing (28/1), Spinacia (33/1), Barend Boy (50/1), Ossco (66/1), Aishling's Secret (80/1), True Companion (150/1)

ROYAL SCHOLAR has few miles on the clock so is taken to build on his fine runner-up over C&D last month and gain his first win at the chief expense of Eglish who arrives in form and can also boast a C&D victory. Talk Now appeals as the pick of the remainder and a solid place prospect.
