Forecasts

Mooneista (7/4), Geocentric (11/4), Romantic Proposal (3/1), Logo Hunter (6/1), Majestic Colt (7/1), Gustavus Weston (8/1), Urban Beat (10/1), Quarantine Dreams (12/1), Warrior Brave (28/1), Adams Barbour (100/1)

MOONEISTA won this race a year ago and looks primed for another very bold bid on the back of an excellent reappearance at Cork. Romantic Proposal lacks a recent run but is a key form player, with Majestic Colt of interest for his new yard if they go hard.
