Forecasts

Auguste Rodin (30/100), Shadowed (11/2), Dubawi Spectre (7/1), Ballsbridge (10/1), Arabian Legend (14/1), Keep In Touch (33/1), Red Letter Bray (33/1), Yamazaki (33/1), Young Ireland (50/1), Eastern Legend (50/1), Golden Temple (66/1), Ballyvohane (100/1), Dreamingofdelaney (150/1), He's Justagent (200/1)

AUGUSTE RODIN made a highly promising start when an unlucky runner-up at the Curragh and is confidently expected to build on it and go one better now. Shadowed and Dubawi Spectre both have better days ahead of them too and are fancied to chase home Aidan O'Brien's exciting Deep Impact colt in that order.
