Forecasts

Navagio (7/4), Coins Cross (6/1), Kalaroun (7/1), Disco Boots (8/1), Petticoat Rule (9/1), Singsong Lady (11/1), Indian Lilac (12/1), Believe In Science (12/1), Higher Kingdom (12/1), Monzoon (16/1), Punakha (16/1), Liquid Luck (20/1), The Alpha Man (20/1), Celtic Crown (22/1), Aurora Princess (25/1), Out On Friday (25/1), Kodiac Prince (28/1), Our Nancy (50/1), Chilean (80/1)

NAVAGIO should have more to come after his promising Naas return and gets the vote in this wide-open handicap. Singsong Lady has to be respected after her Dundalk victory, with Aurora Princess and Coins Cross also making the shortlist.
