Forecasts

Swift Flight (3/1), King Of Bavaria (4/1), Blind Beggar (9/2), Curraheen Princess (11/2), Harmony Rose (6/1), Tide Of Time (17/2), Sablonne (10/1), Only Spoofing (14/1), Screen Siren (14/1), Iva Batt (14/1), Patsy Fagan (25/1), No Speed Limit (100/1)

KING OF BAVARIA looked an excellent prospect at 2 and, after a slow start to the season, he was back to form at the Curragh last time, so he's worth a chance to land this before a return to Group company. Tide of Time and Curraheen Princess, who arrive in good order, are two of several dangers in an open race.
