Forecasts

Good Man Turk (11/4), Iridescent (16/5), Tuckmill (15/2), Search For A Myth (8/1), Ruhm Und Ehre (17/2), Rebelle Chaud (14/1), Le Fou's Keep (14/1), Courting Vickie (16/1), Match The Man (16/1), Delias Pet (20/1), Miss Us O (22/1), Ventnor (25/1), Ferrum (28/1), Lightning Star (33/1), Shantou Special (33/1), Brilliant Question (33/1), Corkbeg (50/1), Hastobedone (50/1), Southwood (66/1)

TUCKMILL showed improved form to get off the mark in comprehensive fashion at Naas 2 weeks ago and, with a return to this trip holding no fears, he's fancied to defy an 8 lb rise and follow up. Good Man Turk is entitled to get closer to the selection on 7 lb better terms, while Iridescent ought to remain competitive.
