Forecasts

Cougar (13/8), Newfoundland (5/2), Impero (5/1), Paris Lights (11/2), Ceallach (6/1), Vega Magnifico (15/2), Shajak (18/1), Saraqael (28/1), Gig Harbor (33/1), James Henry (40/1), Tharif (66/1), Our Scholar (66/1), Elmaftun (150/1), Dylanger (250/1), Just Godwin (250/1)

The market should prove highly informative, but Aidan O'Brien has bagged the last two runnings and his COUGAR is taken to build on his promising Curragh second and open his account. Stable-companion Newfoundland also has better days ahead of him and is next on the list ahead of unexposed duo Paris Lights and Vega Magnifico.
