Forecasts

Farnborough (1/2), Machnamh (3/1), Emotivo (6/1), Firm Handshake (14/1), Rival Queen (14/1), New Route (28/1), North Dorset (33/1), Bottler'secret (50/1), Annie (50/1), Saffronandblue (50/1), Prince Of Glamour (66/1), Tip The Can (66/1), Status Green (80/1), Sparkit (80/1), Navajo River (80/1), Eagles Reign (80/1), I'm Ghosted (100/1), Highland Sam (125/1), Gallo Dell Cielo (200/1)

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and Aidan O'Brien's FARNBOROUGH looks to have been found an excellent opportuntiy to get off the mark after posting some fairly useful efforts. Machnamh also has the form to play a part and is next on the list ahead of Emotivo who steps back down in grade.
