Forecasts

Kirsapp (6/4), Freedom Of Speech (9/2), Karakoul (5/1), Pimlico (11/2), Lopes Gold (10/1), Pinar Del Rio (12/1), Mambo Beauty (28/1), Heytesbury Lane (28/1)

A potentially hot race, but it would be no surprise were Aidan O'Brien's expensive No Nay Never colt PIMLICO to prove up to making a winning debut. Kirsapp can only improve on his promising debut at the Curragh, while twice-raced Freedom of Speech likely has more to offer, too.
