Forecasts

Fugacious (4/1), Time And Money (4/1), Ballycaines (11/2), Munfallet (7/1), St George's Head (15/2), Joven (9/1), Tashim (10/1), Pinpointed (12/1), Akhlaaq (16/1), Blankiedoodie (18/1), Porter Rockwell (25/1), Here's Hoping (28/1), Wee Jim (50/1), Sweet November (50/1), Go Fox (80/1)

FUGACIOUS is a tricky, long-standing maiden, but he might be worth chancing on the back of his strong-finishing second at the Curragh. Time and Money should strip fitter for his reappearance, so he's on the radar along with Munfallet.
