Forecasts

Nusret (7/4), Shark Bay (11/4), Spasiba (4/1), Glory Daze (5/1), Kaliysta (7/1), Faded Fantasy (15/2), Swing Point (8/1), Secret Magician (10/1), Irish Lullaby (18/1), Free To Party (25/1), Captain Hornblower (40/1), Rocket Spirit (80/1), Little Trigger (125/1)

SHARK BAY looks the type to do much better now upped in trip, so he's fancied to make a successful start to his 3-y-o campaign before moving on to bigger things. Glory Daze is the main danger, although Nusret has scope for improvement following a positive start at the Curragh.
