Forecasts

Lope De Light (9/4), Tyson (7/2), Rampere West (9/2), Spread Your Wings (6/1), Cornamona Park (12/1), Lord Maher (16/1), Mother Ship (16/1), Halla Paroiste (16/1), Galileo Springs (16/1), Dakota Chief (16/1), Rocket Ruby (16/1), Psycho Sid (16/1), Barroness Park (25/1), Game Eagle (40/1), Move It (66/1), Tenor D Anjou (125/1), Dalmatic (150/1), Rhodesia (200/1), G'day My Lady (200/1)

TYSON gets the nod to build on a mildly encouraging debut at Cork in March and strike for the Paul Nolan team. Dakota Chief's fair Flat ability marks him down as one who could be up to making his presence felt in a race like this. Galileo Springs and Spread Your Wings are newcomers to note in the betting in a race where those with experience don't set the bar that high.
