Forecasts

The Acropolis (15/8), Pinar Del Rio (2/1), Thunder Eclipse (11/4), Barud (9/1), Canters Well (10/1), Master Of Peace (10/1), Magniffico (20/1), Revkev (22/1), Arges (25/1), Testimone (40/1), Mister Wilson (100/1), Gregor Mendel (150/1)

Aidan O'Brien's 2-y-os continue to go really well first time up and THE ACROPOLIS makes obvious appeal. Pinar Del Rio made a promising start at Naas and should figure with improvement on the way. Barud is another interesting newcomer for Dermot Weld.
