Forecasts

Zaragoza (9/2), Secret Magician (11/2), Distillate (7/1), Talia (15/2), Sea Chariot (8/1), Dynamic Force (10/1), Not Forgotten (10/1), Church Mountain (11/1), Clarita (11/1), Nika Pika (12/1), Still Rolling (12/1), Prisoner's Dilemma (14/1), Loingseoir (14/1), Little Keilee (16/1), Mile End (20/1), Badda Bing (40/1), Queenie St Clair (50/1), Al Yasat (66/1)

Dermot Weld's ZARAGOZA took his form up a level on his handicap bow when getting off the mark at the Curragh and a 7 lb hike in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from following up. Nika Pika heads the list of dangers on the back of her good Ballinrobe third, while Loingseoir and Distillate also need factoring in.
