Forecasts

Flying Dolphin (4/5), Moe Sedway (2/1), Explorers Way (10/3), Kaliysta (6/1), Hazy Mehmory (15/2), Tourgar Raude (10/1), Flash Of Dawn (12/1), Chocolat Blu (12/1), Scarlet Angel (14/1), Chatterbox (20/1), Raleigh Bridge (25/1), Actually (28/1), Any Dream Will Do (33/1), Hector Berlioz (40/1), Arktikos (66/1), Hastily (66/1), Cornmarket (80/1), Flier (150/1), Dodie Baby (150/1), Vintage Gold (150/1)

Some untapped potential on show, but FLYING DOLPHIN sets the bar high on the form of his two placed starts at Leopardstown and Cork so gets the verdict. Moe Sedway rates a big threat on the back of his excellent maiden second here though, while both Explorers Way and Kaliysta have better days ahead of them too and need factoring into a fairly useful maiden.
