Forecasts

Astar (10/11), Sugaree (9/2), Kermiya (5/1), Stariam (8/1), Lan Mara (10/1), Glen Cusher (20/1), Kelly's Out (33/1), Fratas (50/1), Point To Prove (50/1)

The market should reveal plenty but Joseph O'Brien's debutante SUGAREE catches the eye on pedigree and also holds an Irish Oaks entry so this Camelot filly gets the nod at the chief expense of another eye-catching newcomer in the shape of Johnny Murtagh's daughter of Fastnet Rock Kermiya. Astar rates the best of those with racecourse experience and must enter calculations too.
