Forecasts

Sir Antonino (6/4), The Vik (10/3), Le Jardin Secret (6/1), Cara Susanna (7/1), Roman Bull (15/2), Olympicus (12/1), Ballycallan King (14/1), Passage Of War (18/1), James Henry (28/1), Campione D'italia (33/1), Proud Dandy (40/1), Fond Farewell (50/1), Double Greatest (50/1), Clever Capall (66/1), Fascinating Secret (66/1), Kayleigh Grace (100/1), Srowland Jack (100/1), Danesfort (125/1), Destivelle (150/1)

The well-bred OLYMPICUS showed clear signs of ability on his introduction at Cork and can be expected to take a significant step forward with that experience to draw upon here. He gets the nod ahead of likely-looking newcomer Cara Susanna, for whom market support would be noteworthy, and Sir Antonino, who is tried in blinkers following a low-key handicap debut effort last time.
