Forecasts

Cornman (5/2), Purple Dawn (7/2), Nero Tulip (5/1), In Ecstasy (5/1), Rapidus (7/1), Barbapapa (10/1), Stoke The Fire (18/1), Global Energy (22/1), Bridge Of Dawn (25/1), Chaos Control (50/1), Common Practice (50/1), Level Pitch (100/1)

Michael O'Callaghan is enjoying a good season with his 2-y-os and unleashes PURPLE DAWN here. The Belardo colt makes plenty of appeal on paper and, armed with an entry in the Beresford Stakes, the hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. The Ger Lyons-trained duo Cornman and Nero Tulip are both open to improvement, while Rapidus should leave his debut effort well behind in time.
