Forecasts

Wave Machine (7/4), Queen Maedbh (10/3), Montesilvano (11/2), Wartime Warrior (17/2), Quiz Test (10/1), Meggy Moo (12/1), Roman Moon (16/1), Snowdonia Song (16/1), Slieve Binnian (18/1), Quick Blessing (20/1), Madakasham Jam (40/1), Amemri (80/1)

WAVE MACHINE holds the edge on the form of her Curragh debut third and with this step up in trip sure to bring about improvement she gets the vote. Joseph O'Brien's Churchill colt Wartime Warrior appeals most of the clutch of newcomers and is next best ahead of other debutants Quiz Test, Snowdonia Song and Queen Maedbh.
