Forecasts

Across Da Universe (8/11), Mansa Musa (11/2), Rush Queen (6/1), Cool Dan (8/1), Emerald Banner (12/1), Simplexity (16/1), Nadowessi (22/1), More Profit (25/1), Glamorously (25/1), Au Lait (50/1), Charles Atlas (100/1), Zelosa (150/1)

The clear pick is BUYIN BUYIN, who built on his Dundalk debut success when fourth in the Marble Hill at the Curragh, form which was boosted when the winner went on to finish a good fourth in the Coventry at Royal Ascot. Newcomers Cool Dan and Emerald Banner are taken to fill the places, with Listowel maiden winner Rush Queen best of the rest.
