Forecasts

True Artist (16/5), Jaafel (10/3), Ms Eagleton (4/1), Maristella (4/1), Apple Of His Eye (9/2), Coeur d'Or (11/2), Knocknakilla (15/2), Baalbec Beauty (33/1), Black Smoke (50/1), City Angel (66/1), Rock Dandy (100/1), Mambacita (100/1), Desiderius Erasmus (100/1), Forever My Girl (100/1), Roman Bull (150/1)

The vote goes to COEUR D'OR, who produced an eye-catching effort back from a 12-month absence when fourth in a big-field handicap at the Curragh a fortnight ago. He has low mileage for a horse of his age and will have every chance returned to maiden company if able to build on that promising effort. True Artist has found just one too good on his last two starts and looks set for another major role, while Maristella and Ms Eagleton are others to consider.
