Forecasts

Georg Zhukov (3/1), Deo Vero (7/2), Green Triangle (9/2), Edergole's Angel (9/2), Zaraahmando (6/1), Alumni Lia (18/1), Petit Fusee (20/1), Gateway Arch (22/1), Boyne Valley (25/1), Shocker (25/1), Highway Sixty One (33/1), Episodic (66/1)

Those with experience haven't achieved a great deal so it may pay to focus on newcomers, with the vote going to GREEN TRIANGLE for Joseph O'Brien. Georg Zhukov, whose trainer and jockey won this last year, and Edergole's Angel are others with something to recommend them on paper.
