Forecasts

Tourist (8/13), Vanity Pays (7/2), Emerald Banner (5/1), Francis Meynell (8/1), Awesome Spirit Gal (20/1), Go On Go On Uhavit (80/1), Sophia Klimt (80/1), Our Queen Bee (150/1)

TOURIST has shaped well when runner-up on both his starts, most recently at Naas, and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to go one better now. Vanity Pays also has some fairly useful form to her name and appeals as the one to chase home Ger Lyons' Zoustar colt ahead of Naas fifth Emerald Banner and newcomer Francis Meynell.
