Forecasts

Fernao (8/11), God Knows (9/2), Unterberg (5/1), Dream Escape (15/2), Maggie And Me (16/1), Golden Reel (22/1), Wrecking Ball Paul (28/1), Angelus Griseo (66/1), Rock Basher (125/1), Mid Life Crisis (200/1)

FERNAO has shaped well when placed in 2 maidens this spring and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to get off the mark. God Knows possibly needed her Killarney reappearance run and might be the one to follow the selection home if back to the form she showed when not beaten far in a decent maiden at the Curragh last summer. Unterberg looks next best.
