Forecasts

Rough Diamond (7/2), Heavenly Power (7/2), Sounds Of Spring (8/1), Big Baby Bull (8/1), Dilawara (9/1), Verhoyen (9/1), Half Nutz (10/1), Gegenpressing (14/1), Shabaaby (14/1), Blairmayne (16/1), Dream Today (16/1), Not Now Zeb (18/1), Texas Rock (18/1), Nordic Passage (25/1), Huddle Up (33/1), Nebo (80/1), Brushwork (125/1)

ROUGH DIAMOND was well backed and duly shaped well when fourth at the Curragh last week. This stiffest test will suit so he remains of interest. Verhoyen was better than the bare result at York last time and is another to consider along with recent Navan winner Sounds of Spring.
