Forecasts

American Bar (13/8), Cradle Of Love (5/2), Red Veil (9/2), Merrily (13/2), Irish Acclamation (10/1), Marianne North (12/1), Kodilicious (16/1), Boutella (33/1), No Straight Swaps (33/1), Brigid's Cloak (50/1), Onomatapeoi (66/1)

AMERICAN BAR makes plenty of appeal on paper for a yard adept at readying a newcomer, and with a Group 2 entry, she could be worth siding with before market clues. Merrily is another newcomer high on the shortlist for Aidan O'Brien. The promising Cradle of Love is the pick of those with experience and can also feature.
