Forecasts

Admiralty Place (6/5), Navagio (4/1), Unterberg (4/1), Middlemarch (5/1), Yester (8/1), Opulent (22/1), Selective Power (28/1), Lady Danbury (33/1), Secret Magician (50/1), Starsong (50/1), Fast Beth (66/1), Ballysax Lil' Mick (66/1), Mr Rango (100/1), Step Back In Time (250/1), Tonnta (250/1), I'm Polly (250/1), Griseo (250/1)

ADMIRALTY PLACE sets a useful standard and a reproduction of his handicap-debut third at Cork a fortnight ago should be sufficient for Jessie Harrington's charge to open his account. Navagio stepped up on his reappearance when third at Limerick last month so he's fancied to give the selection most to think about now sporting a first-time hood, while Unterberg may prove best of the newcomers.
