Forecasts

Lord Gorgeous (11/8), Elzaam Tales (6/4), Loveday (11/2), Doitforandrew (9/1), Pandemic Princess (14/1), Kimbah (25/1)

LORD GORGEOUS shaped well when third at Naas on his debut and is fancied to build on that here at the chief expense of Ger Lyons' newcomer Elzaam Tales. Fellow debutante Loveday also makes some appeal in a race where the market will doubtless prove highly informative.
