Forecasts

Cougar (4/1), Paris Lights (9/2), Sir Antonino (5/1), Barud (11/2), Temple Of Artemis (6/1), Bringbackmemories (9/1), Boundless Ocean (10/1), New Energy (11/1), China Seas (11/1), Brown Eagle (12/1), Elmaftun (12/1), Impero (18/1), Chaos Control (25/1), Rockbury Lad (33/1), J J Jumbo (40/1), Carte Rouge (66/1), Danfango (125/1), Kisses Of Fire (250/1)

COUGAR has the pedigree for this sort of trip and is the pick of Seamie Heffernan from a trio of well-bred Aidan O'Brien representatives, so he gets a tentative vote to land what could prove to be a strong maiden. Paris Lights, a full brother to St Mark's Basilica, is another notable debutant, while Barud is the best of those with experience but has a poor run to put behind him.
