Forecasts

Thia (11/4), Velvet Skies (4/1), Tachos (5/1), Elliptical (7/1), Nika Pika (8/1), Spanish Flame (8/1), Pomeriggio (8/1), Courageous Strike (10/1), Nemonte (12/1), Bhean Saibhre (33/1)

Verdict

THIA showed definite promise on his Curragh debut and has to be the percentage call, although a strong market move for newcomers such as Spanish Flame, Tachos and/or Courageous Strike would put a slightly different slant on things.
