Forecasts

Perseids (6/4), Valkyrian (16/5), Not Even Close (4/1), Boogie Woogie (8/1), Starry Eyed (9/1), Tea Tree Bay (14/1), Marsh Lock (18/1), Riesling (20/1), Perfect Duet (33/1), Sapristi (50/1), As Fast As Wind (66/1), Lady Montse (80/1), Sweet Wish (100/1)

There was a lot to like about the debut second of PERSEIDS at Naas last month so she gets the nod, although a strong market move for Aidan O'Brien newcomers Boogie Woogie and/or Starry Eyed would put a slightly disfferent slant on things. Valkyrian also won't be too far away if reproducing her latest Leopardstown third.
