Forecasts

Zozimus (4/5), Men Of Dreams (4/1), Shackleton Hero (13/2), Prince Of Peace (10/1), Prairie Fire (20/1), Admiral Brown (20/1), Alice Kitty (25/1), Wadacre Gogo (25/1), Business Speak (25/1), Play The Crowd (25/1), Aleksey Tolstoy (40/1), Cappy (50/1), Karpen (100/1), Rakish Paddy (150/1), Duke Otto (250/1)

ZOZIMUS arrives in great nick following several placed efforts recently and he's a confident selection to get off the mark at the eighth time of asking. Blinkers replace the cheekpieces and he should be tough to beat. The Joseph O'Brien-trained pair of Shackleton Hero and Prairie Fire head up the dangers and can chase the selection home in that order.
