Forecasts

Old Faithful (8/15), Starliner (3/1), Instant Appeal (4/1), Royalcorrespondent (12/1), Alto Sax (100/1), Kathaniel (125/1), I've Been Dreaming (125/1), T Or Coffey (250/1)

STARLINER sets quite a good standard for a race like this and is narrowly preferred to Aidan O'Brien's Old Faithful, who made an encouraging start to his career when third at the Curragh last month and Ryan Moore comes over for the ride. Instant Appeal is also likely to be thereabouts in a maiden likely to be dominated by that trio.
