Forecasts

Mutasarref (6/4), Sunwalk (5/2), River Derwent (7/2), Prince Hector (17/2), Captain Middleton (10/1), Captain Clever (16/1), Vocal Ring (22/1), Ellis Park (28/1), Apsley House (40/1), Graduate Of Honour (50/1), Filament (50/1), Queen Of Oriel (125/1), Hooklinesinker (200/1), Civil Dawn (250/1), You Bank (300/1)

MUTASARREF was given a considerate introduction when fifth in a big-field Naas maiden and is fancied to take a big step forward now and open his account at the chief expense of Prince Hector, who also made a pleasing start when runner-up at Galway and can also have a say. River Derwent and Sunwalk appeal as the two to fight it out for minor honours.
