Forecasts

Princess Plumeria (11/10), Eloso (11/4), Majeski Man (7/1), Collective Power (8/1), Simba Power (16/1), California Poppy (18/1), Mulgrave (18/1), Approbare (33/1), Adakaz (33/1), Belted (50/1), Maestro Stick (66/1), Allhart (125/1), Urban Boom (150/1)

PRINCESS PLUMERIA posted a good fifth in a big-field Curragh maiden last month and still has few miles on the clock so looks the way to go here. Simba Power is another lightly-raced sort who warrants plenty of respect, with Collective Power appealing as the pick of the remainder and a solid place prospect.
