Forecasts

Jaafel (10/3), Mary Salome (4/1), Royal Tribute (4/1), Inishmot Prince (9/2), Zerinda (7/1), Ampeson (9/1), Wee Pablo (9/1), Tara Power (12/1), Thaleeq (20/1), Mr Rango (20/1), Grizabella (20/1), Welcoming (25/1), Faithful Prince (25/1), Yorkshire Pirlo (25/1), Atlas (25/1), Never Back Down (33/1), Geological (33/1), Zonik (66/1)

The vote goes to JAAFEL, who showed ability in a couple of all-weather novice events for Brian Meehan in Britain as a 2-y-o, and he has been knocking on the door for new connections since returning from a 14-month absence in February. Ampeson wasn't beaten far off a 1 lb higher mark at Naas recently and is likely to be on the premises, while Inishmot Prince is also shortlisted, along with Mary Salome.
