Forecasts

Quiet Desire (4/1), King Lenox (9/2), Tham Luang (11/2), Stay With Me (6/1), Clonard Abbey (6/1), Punters Poet (13/2), Sand Castle (7/1), Crossguns (11/1), Capablanca (11/1), All About Maddy (18/1), Manap (20/1), Futurum Regem (20/1), Odd Venture (25/1), Thekeyisnottopanic (28/1), Aldente (40/1), Cape Agulhas (50/1), Biscayne Boulevard (125/1)

STAY WITH ME bounced back to form when runner-up over C&D on her latest start last week, going on entering the straight and only collared late on. She may well build on that now and come out on top. Tham Luang, Sand Castle and Capablanca head up the dangers.
