Forecasts

Kortez Bay (6/4), Psalm (10/3), Meriwether Lewis (9/2), Agenda (17/2), Lo Rider (9/1), Masoun (10/1), Solar Saving (10/1), Monasterboice (25/1), Judicial Reward (25/1), Nakasero (40/1), Crest Of The Moon (40/1), Warrior Lord (66/1), Lord Church (80/1), Anyothername (100/1), Killeaney Bear (125/1), Moutarde (150/1), Finito Bonito (150/1), Pomham Rocks (250/1)

KORTEZ BAY has gradually improved with each outing and gets the nod in what looks a highly competitive maiden. The Aidan O'Brien pair, Psalm and Meriwether Lewis head the list of dangers.
