Forecasts

Igor Stravinsky (15/8), No Knee Never (2/1), Bleak Midwinter (7/1), White Clover (15/2), Zaynab (10/1), Kailasa (10/1), Solar Saving (20/1), Auburn Avenue (20/1), Monasterboice (22/1), Wing Glider (28/1), Empress Alma (33/1), Kentucky Gal (40/1), Abbey Actress (100/1), Positive Energy (100/1), Bless Me (100/1), Clouds Collide (100/1), Mark's One (125/1), Your Out Of Line (125/1), Nans View (150/1), Rappell (150/1)

IGOR STRAVINSKY makes plenty of appeal on paper being out of a 1000 Guineas winner so is taken to make a winning start. No Knee Never and Zaynab both shaped well in heavy-ground maidens at the Curragh so are feared most.
