Forecasts

Hiawatha (8/15), Serious Challenge (9/2), Agathon (6/1), Trident Star (9/1), Dutch Gold (14/1), Okyle Lass (200/1), Dreamingofdelaney (200/1)

HIAWATHA showed up really well when runner-up on his debut at Killarney and this brother to the stable's high-class colt Luxembourg is strongly fancied to go one better. Serious Challenge also made an enouraging start when third here and is rated next best ahead of newcomer Agathon.
