Forecasts

Fiston Des Issards (5/4), Tucanae (7/4), All Those Years (5/1), Bulldoze (14/1), Insignia Of Rank (14/1), He'sthewon (16/1), My Uncas (28/1), Watch Guard (28/1), Any Day Now (33/1), Mount Melleray (50/1), Mullaghmore Wave (80/1), Navajo Ridge (100/1), Wake The Giant (125/1), Sienne D'or (150/1), Adele Co (150/1), Voitout (200/1), Loyal Lioness (300/1)

FISTON DES ISSARDS is a most interesting debutant having been sold for £255,000 following his Irish point win (strong form), so he's taken to get off to the perfect start under Rules in what looks a very winnable contest. Tucanae went down fighting at Galway last month and can provide the main threat.
