Forecasts

Battle Fleet (2/1), Pipsy (11/4), Star Hunter (10/3), Latin (6/1), Il Pellegrino (10/1), Emperor Of Rome (12/1), Rebelsontherun (50/1), Maria Land (150/1), Our Dagger (150/1), Easyshineadiamond (150/1), Our Queen Bee (200/1)

There was a lot to like about PIPSY's opening second at Cork 17 days ago and she can build on that and prove too strong for Aidan O'Brien pair Battle Fleet and Latin.
