Forecasts

Rambranlt'jac (1/1), Hamundarson (6/5), Lucky Max (11/2), Hallowed Star (6/1), Adnap (22/1), Henry Star (25/1), Edmond Dantes (50/1), Gringo D'ainay (66/1), Boherlug (125/1), Name Me Famous (150/1), Two For The Road (150/1), Know The Game (150/1), Boston Brahmin (150/1), Ballykilmurray (150/1), El Nido (200/1), Golden Ferret (200/1)

RAMBRANLT'JAC looked promising on his sole run in France and has joined a top yard ahead of his debut in Ireland, so he's fancied to improve past Hamundarson, who sets the standard but is a good deal more exposed than the selection. Hallowed Star is another one to consider.
