Forecasts

Chicago Black Hawk (11/10), Probe (11/4), Lust (13/2), Swift Flight (9/1), Dixie Bluebell (11/1), Handel (12/1), Dagoda (16/1), Battle Of Evermore (25/1), Right Turn (33/1), Chavajod (33/1), Fancy Red Diamond (33/1), South East Star (50/1), Dutch Schaefer (100/1), Fragaria (100/1), Dark Matter (100/1), Astrophysicist (150/1), Herecomesharry (250/1), Showcasing Sadie (300/1), Miss Maggie May (300/1)

CHICAGO BLACK HAWK ran to a decent level when third in a big field at the Curragh last autumn and is selected to make a winning return, although strong market support for Aidan O'Brien's Handel, who is likely a lot better than he was able to show on debut last summer, would put a slightly different slant on things. Dermot Weld's Probe completes the shortlist.
