Forecasts

Perretti (11/10), Thriving Brothers (9/4), I Bid You Ajou (5/1), Late Night Talking (11/1), Puturhandstogether (14/1), Bruce Lightning (16/1), Rebelsontherun (25/1), Genesis (33/1), Exceeding (50/1), Zenato (66/1), My Mate Tony (200/1), The Ukulele Style (200/1), Solar Falcon (250/1), Aisling Oscar (250/1)

PERRETTI finished to good effect on debut over 1m at this course and, while the drop back in trip isn't necessarily in his favour, he should have enough to open his account at the second attempt. McVay also arrives on the back of a promising start, so he's regarded as the main danger ahead of Rebelsontherun.
