Forecasts

Yokkell (10/3), Fools Glory (4/1), Stormie Outlook (9/2), French Rescue (6/1), Adam's Angel (11/1), All Aboard (12/1), Drish Melody (16/1), Lisamaria (16/1), Linger For Longer (16/1), Princess Azure (16/1), Stickyourneckout (20/1), Mymacushla (25/1), Secret Rock (28/1), Dahomey (33/1)

YOKKELL improved again when runner-up at Down Royal last month and certainly looks up to winning more races on that evidence, so she receives the vote. Stormie Outlook, Fools Glory and handicap-debutant Secret Look are a trio of potential threats.
