Forecasts

Gimmie Shelter (8/11), Adelaide River (11/4), Man Of Eden (15/2), Pigeon House (11/1), Matt Connor (12/1), Claycastle (28/1), Golden Temple (40/1), Holy Scat Passion (80/1), My Beautiful Boy (100/1)

GIMMIE SHELTER shaped with plenty of promise when third on his debut at Killarney and this well-bred son of Kitten's Joy can open his account at the chief expense of Aidan O'Brien's interesting newcomer Adelaide River. Galway fourth Man of Eden appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
