Forecasts

Valiant Force (9/4), Deepone (3/1), Spanish Flame (10/3), Akkadian Emperor (4/1), Master Of The Hunt (6/1), Latin (15/2), Gaspare Gabrielli (15/2), Star Hunter (12/1), Thor's Hammer (12/1), Necessitate (12/1), Mariner (16/1), Instant Appeal (20/1), Oiche Chiuin (28/1), Glamora (66/1), Gandolfo (66/1), Carter Hall (80/1), Bhean Saibhre (100/1)

VALIANT FORCE ran to a high level for a newcomer when runner-up in a listed event at the Curragh and could put that experience to good use up against mostly newcomers. The market should reveal who the main dangers are, with Aidan O'Brien saddling 3, namely Gaspare Gabrielli, Latin and Master of The Hunt.
