Forecasts

Aloysius Lilius (5/1), Ginormous (6/1), Babyface (6/1), Sosallycanwait (13/2), Sunday Sovereign (7/1), Senado Square (7/1), Phil's Dream (8/1), Akeela (9/1), American In Paris (11/1), Turn Up The Beat (25/1), Try Hard (50/1), Freedom Ring (66/1)

Though PHIL'S DREAM has failed to shine on his four previous starts on turf, he nevertheless has bright prospects off this mark on the back of what has been a largely productive campaign on the all-weather since the turn of the year. Ginormous will be a threat if able to build on the improvement he showed at Navan recently, while Aloysius Lilius and Akeela both make some each-way appeal.
