Forecasts

Royal Rendezvous (1/3), Get My Drift (2/1), Marajman (10/3), Futurum Regem (14/1), Patience Patience (18/1), Rainbow Chaser (40/1), Bracklin Princess (50/1)

GET MY DRIFT ran well in a hot Punchestown novice last time and has good claims back up in trip here. Royal Rendezvous is the clear danger in what could develop into a match.
