Forecasts

Navagio (2/1), Spanish Tenor (11/4), Cordouan (4/1), Eclat De Lumiere (4/1), Play It Again Zaam (9/2), Exquisite Acclaim (10/1), Dragon Of Malta (11/1), Crystal Black (14/1), Relevant Range (16/1), Morning Soldier (16/1)

NAVAGIO went like the best horse at the weights when runner-up at Naas last month so looks ready to strike off 1 lb lower. The useful Cordouan remains low mileage for his age so must be respected back on turf, while Spanish Tenor should be in the mix again.
