Forecasts

Lohengrin (5/1), Golden Days (13/2), Blue Wood (7/1), Play It Again Zaam (15/2), Shaaden (8/1), Eriskay (8/1), Saffredi (9/1), Luxury Island (10/1), Pascalia (12/1), Hope And Innocence (12/1), Skontonovski (14/1), Fastman (18/1), Bella Mistiko (18/1), Bhean Saibhre (20/1), The Stray Sod (22/1), Second Fiddle (22/1), Poppadom (25/1), Pulse Of Shanghai (40/1), Quiet Affair (100/1)

Plenty are in with a shout but PASCALIA rates just the pick of these weights so edges the vote with her yard going well. Course-scorer Play It Again Zaam heads the list of dangers ahead of Eriskay, Second Fiddle and Saffredi.
