Forecasts

Hippodrome (5/2), Harsh (11/4), Milwaukee (16/5), New Variant (9/1), Dancing Cloud (9/1), North Dorset (12/1), Our Boy Wes (14/1), Trachonitus (18/1), Rossmore Nation (33/1), Eyeeye (50/1), Sapristi (66/1), Serotonin (125/1), Donbeg Reel (150/1), Jarvis Brook (150/1), Thats Jet (250/1)

The betting should prove informative here but Dark Angel colt HARSH made a promising start when fourth at Galway and can build on that and open his account at the chief expense of Aidan O'Brien's duo Milwaukee and Hippodrome. Other newcomers North Dorset and Dancing Cloud need considering too, especially if the market speaks in their favour.
