Forecasts

Jungle Cove (15/8), Indian Sioux (11/4), Liquid Luck (3/1), Gatsby Cap (10/3), Howling Wolf (6/1), Cliara (17/2), Starlite Dancer (50/1), Katzoff (50/1)

LIQUID LUCK promises to be all the better for his Curragh reappearance seventh after an absence and can capitalise on a handy mark now. Jungle Cove has just one victory to his name but he arrives in good nick and rates the chief threat, with course-winner Gatsby Cap also set to be in the mix.
