Forecasts

Von Krolock (7/2), Sir John Monash (11/2), Hale Bopp (6/1), Knockmore Prince (13/2), Coviglia (8/1), Eglish (17/2), Pallasmore Lass (10/1), Admiral Nelson (12/1), Memorial Verse (16/1), Stormie Outlook (18/1), Maestro Stick (20/1), Cousin Shay (25/1), El Bello (33/1), Contradanza (50/1), Miltonia (50/1), Glencullen (66/1), Zurana (100/1)

EGLISH returned from a lay-off with a good second here and can go one better now and capitalise on a reduced mark. Course-winner Coviglia and recent course scorer Hale Bopp appeal as the chief threats to James McAuley's mare and can chase home the selection in that order.
