Forecasts

Zenato (4/1), I Bid You Ajou (9/2), Artful Approach (8/1), Sportingsilvermine (8/1), Koniag (9/1), Blue Soul (9/1), Nakasero (10/1), Pomeriggio (10/1), Galician Girl (14/1), Posh Maisie (16/1), Hoover Dam (20/1), Gregorina (33/1), Dream Ticket (33/1), Dark Blue Diamond (40/1), Kilbarry Jack (40/1), Flippity Flop (40/1), Fine Print (66/1), The Man Above (66/1)

I BID YOU AJOU returned to form when second at Gowran a month ago and he's well treated on the pick of his 2-y-o efforts, so he gets the nod over Zenato, who may have more to offer. Artful Approach is another definite player.
