Forecasts

Lamprog (5/1), Adhuil (5/1), Gregor Mendel (6/1), Inchiquin Star (7/1), Urban Oasis (7/1), Purple Gown (15/2), Beescatty (11/1), Celtic Revival (12/1), Forgetmenotblue (14/1), Man Is King (14/1), Your Honor (16/1), Sovereignty (16/1), Testimone (20/1), Invincible Ourse (22/1), Gudrun Genberg (25/1), Linger For Longer (33/1), Miss Violet (125/1)

Lots of these are hard to fancy. LAMPROG got off the mark at Gowran a fortnight ago and is weighted to go in again here at the chief expense of Celtic Revival, who looks to have more to offer now he goes into handicaps. In-form Purple Gown appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
