Forecasts

Ark (3/1), Fennela (4/1), Star Angel (13/2), Eyaziya (13/2), Selador (13/2), River Rain (7/1), Kiss You Later (8/1), Engagement Ring (17/2), Lightship (20/1), Honeycomb (33/1), Willamette Valley (33/1), Insulate (80/1), Caramel Lizard (100/1), Deceit (125/1), Ysobel (300/1), Kodis Well (300/1)

A maiden that looks sure to throw up plenty of future winners. Aidan O'Brien saddles 4 and the pick could be ARK. She was picked off by a couple of closers having gone for home a long way out at Leopardstown a fortnight ago, and with first-time blinkers now applied, she can put it all together at the fourth time of asking. Selador, Engagement Ring and Eyaziya are just a trio of others to consider.
