Forecasts

St Lukes Chelsea (11/4), Palazzo Persico (7/2), Irrelevant (4/1), Quintus Maximus (5/1), Go Your Own Way (9/1), Maverick Style (14/1), Brandaisy (16/1), Lady Chatterley (16/1), Tenyatta (28/1), Spirit La Adelita (50/1), Midnight Force (66/1), Mrs Nell (66/1)

Having created a good impression when winning a nursery here last month, IRRELEVANT has been a shade disappointing but this looks an easier assignment. Stall 11 isn't ideal but he's still the most persuasive option, with St Lukes Chelsea and Palazzo Persico feared most.
