Forecasts

Vadali (8/11), Bomberg (11/2), Cathedral Peak (11/2), Mapa (8/1), Final Curtain (8/1), Aratayvo (17/2), Daniels Dream (16/1), Tuba (25/1), No Smoke (50/1), Point Duty (100/1), Ali's Court (200/1)

VADALI took another step forward when third at Gowran and looks the one to beat. Well-bred newcomer Bomberg is a likely threat for Aidan O'Brien, while Cathedral Peak offered plenty to work on at the Curragh.
