Forecasts

High Class Hero (11/10), Kinbara (5/2), Great Universe (5/1), Churchroad Prince (6/1), Upton Fox (25/1), Fisichella (28/1), Wilmeaulpalwinbos (50/1), Trooper Thorn (50/1), One Of Us Is Lying (66/1), Watergrangedreamer (100/1), Cap Bernat (125/1), Aisling's Court (200/1), Westwind Star (200/1)

Point winner HIGH CLASS HERO is nicely bred and represents top connections so he's fancied to make a successful start in bumpers at the likely expense of Great Universe, who is the clear pick of those with form. Kinbara is another one to consider.
