Forecasts

Blazing Star (11/10), Jeroboam (15/8), San Aer (7/1), Lyra Belacqua (10/1), Early Warning (14/1), Apollo Thirteen (20/1), Latin Fury (20/1), First Blood (80/1), Powerful Don (100/1), Red Dreamer (100/1), Tara Power (150/1), Built For This (250/1)

BLAZING STAR has been a beaten favourite on all 3 starts but perhaps testing ground was against her at Naas last time and she might be worth one more chance. Jeroboam is another who has had a few chances now but he should be bang there in this line-up. Early Warning went off at only 4/1 in a big field on his debut so is seemingly thought capable of a good deal better than he showed then.
