Forecasts

Bremen (4/5), Alonzo (4/1), Navy Seal (9/2), School Of Law (13/2), Thor's Hammer (8/1), Kinesiology (10/1), Halberd (12/1), Gandolfo (33/1), Artful Approach (66/1), Bladon (66/1), Cuban Confusion (66/1), Veracidad (100/1), Bofa (125/1), Katie Kabeir (125/1)

BREMEN made a very promising start at Tipperary a fortnight ago and looks a banker for a maiden with improvement coming. Three of Aidan O'Brien's last 4 newcomers have won and Navy Seal demands plenty of respect on debut. Alonzo and Halberd are also interesting first time up.
