Forecasts

Flight Of Fancy (8/11), Thequietman (11/4), Tango Five (4/1), Monasterboice (4/1), Newtown Duke (9/2), Balyan (11/1), Future Cutlet (12/1), Breathe Again (33/1), Whoyatryingtocod (100/1), Blue And All Alone (125/1), Saith Seren (250/1)

FLIGHT OF FANCY was well beaten at Royal Ascot but sets the bar pretty high back in a maiden and is preferred to Joseph O'Brien's Leopardstown runner-up Thequietman. Last week's Curragh second Tango Five may prove best of the remainder.
