Forecasts

Queen Olly (11/4), Thunder Cat (9/2), Catch The Paddy (6/1), Match Play (7/1), Mickey Mongoose (15/2), Oh Sweet Tabu (8/1), Papa Ricco (9/1), Drafted (12/1), Ubettabequick (25/1), Tantalus (33/1), Urban Dandy (40/1)

Richard Hannon has made a positive start with his 2-y-os this season and won this last year with subsequent July Stakes/Gimcrack winner Lusail, so his OH SWEET TABU is the tentative selection. €300,000 yearling Queen Olly is another likely newcomer for the in-form David Loughnane, while Andrew Balding seems to have his juveniles well forward and his Thunder Cat is the first runner from the sole crop of Roaring Lion.
