Forecasts

Swagman (15/8), Mano Chicago (2/1), Truth Be Told (13/2), South Shore Island (17/2), Nyman (10/1), Glyndwr (14/1), Viking Invasion (22/1)

Aidan O'Brien's SWAGMAN appeals as the sort to take a sizeable step forward from his debut Curragh third so gets the nod from Mano Chicago who also made a promising start when third at Gowran recently. Newcomers Truth Be Told and Glyndwr are in good hands and can't be discounted either, especially if the market vibes are positive.
