Forecasts

Tavrina (15/8), Irish Times (3/1), Broughtons Flare (4/1), Viola Park (11/2), Musee D'Orsay (13/2), Afro Blue (7/1), Mungo's Quest (12/1), Thomas Lanfiere (16/1), Street Poet (18/1), Rita's Folly (40/1), Littlemissattitude (100/1), Soaring Spirits (250/1)

BROUGHTONS FLARE is on an appealing mark and debuts for a stable going through a good spell, so he might be worth chancing, particularly if the market speaks in his favour. Recent-winners Viola Park and Tavrina provide some formidable opposition in a race that could prove strong for the grade.
