Forecasts

Neo Soul (15/8), Ernest Rutherford (11/4), Speedacus (11/4), Pepper Streak (6/1), Gate Speed (11/1), B United (20/1), Penny Pingleton (25/1), Fanveil's Legacy (28/1), Adam's Angel (40/1), Wee Winnie (50/1), Daintree (66/1), Bayou Belle (100/1), Invincible Ourse (150/1)

Those with experience don't set the bar too high so Ger Lyons' well-related Kodiac colt NEO SOUL is taken to make a winning start. Speedacus is the pick of those with form already on the board and is feared most ahead of promising Cork debut fourth Pepper Streak. Gate Speed is another debutante who is worth monitoring in the market.
