Forecasts

Hms Endeavour (3/1), Pirate Jenny (3/1), Pearl Palinka (3/1), Exquisite Acclaim (11/2), Coolmeen Vega (12/1), Anatoli (12/1), Red Lacewing (18/1), Rockbury Lad (22/1), Apache Star (22/1), Papa K (25/1), Celebrate In Style (40/1), Skatingonice (50/1), Cousin Shay (66/1), Antwasaprettypenny (150/1), Cloughaneely Stone (250/1)

HMS ENDEAVOUR boasts a smart pedigree and should have learnt plenty from his initial outing at Naas, so he's expected to make his second start a winning one. Pearl Palinka is another likely improver, while Pirate Jenny and Red Lacewing are a pair of interesting debutantes to keep an eye on in the betting.
