Forecasts

Dads Lad (9/4), Ultima Thule (3/1), Mr Saxobeat (5/1), Spanish Present (13/2), Carfax (10/1), Filey Bay (12/1), Monty Don (14/1), Time Gents (14/1), Golden De Coeur (28/1), Watergrange Jack (40/1), Bout Time Bobby (40/1), Ni Mhaonaigh (50/1), Shumard (66/1), Hillside Garden (125/1), Mose Harper (150/1), Captain Cal (200/1), In His Prime (200/1)

ULTIMA THULE beat all bar a much-improved one after 18 months off at Killarney 2 weeks ago and is entitled to come on for the run, so he looks capable of going one better. Dads Lad commands respect on the pick of his form, while Time Gents ran too badly to be true last time and also needs considering.
