Forecasts

Emporio (1/2), Metaphorical (3/1), Diamil (8/1), Surviving Murmansk (8/1), Caruso King (18/1), Hillcrest Avenue (20/1), Camino Mission (28/1), Comedy La Vega (40/1), Arioch (40/1), Chazzesmee (80/1), Outran (125/1), Freepark (250/1), I Doubt That (250/1)

EMPORIO showed useful form when fifth in the Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh 2 weeks ago and should prove hard to beat back in maiden company. Metaphorical looks capable of winning a maiden at some point and can follow him home.
