Forecasts

Kodiac Prince (5/2), Sir Antonino (4/1), Hazy Mehmory (15/2), Bridge Of Dawn (15/2), Soaring Monarch (17/2), Spy (17/2), Giselles Ausie (10/1), Persian Queen (11/1), Disco Boots (20/1), Liberated Light (25/1), Chavajod (28/1), Lord Erskine (33/1), Saraqael (50/1), Knocklane Lass (50/1), Chilled Out (80/1)

KODIAC PRINCE arrives at the top of his game and a 7 lb penalty for his big-field Curragh success might not be enough to prevent him from completing a quick hat-trick. Sir Antonino is weighted to have a say and needs considering in refitted blinkers. Hazy Mehmory can't be ruled out for her in-form stable, while the returning Knocklane Lass is another to factor in if there is a market move in her favour.
