Forecasts

Il Pellegrino (4/9), Emperor Of Rome (9/4), Goal Exceeded (7/2), Take Me To Church (17/2), Chet's Fancy (9/1), Tobarnault (28/1), Eddie G (33/1), Bobbys Glory (100/1), Rappell (125/1), Surpass And Shine (150/1), Our Major (150/1)

IL PELLEGRINO shaped with plenty of promise when chasing home the useful Pipsy (listed winner since) in a maiden at the Curragh last month and is taken to go one better here. He pulled nicely clear of the third, Emperor of Rome, who had the benefit of prior experience and will do well to reverse those placings. Goal Exceeded and Take Me To Church are live each-way contenders, while newcomer Chet's Fancy is one to note in the betting.
