Forecasts

Dark Viper (5/2), Noble Nation (7/2), I'm Spartacus (7/2), Pink Oxalis (5/1), Lady Daar (13/2), Woohoo (10/1), Star Sailor (10/1), Ace In The Pack (11/1), Alex Belardo (14/1), Layoftheland (14/1), Pass To Paris (20/1), Beyond Your Dreams (20/1), Rosato (22/1), Veracidad (28/1), Seven Eleven (40/1)

I'M SPARTACUS took a step back in the right direction when runner-up in a big field at Cork last month and is worth siding with to build on that given he won off a higher mark in Britain last autumn. Noble Nation, Dark Viper and Pink Oxalis head the dangers, while Joseph O'Brien handicap newcomer Beyond Your Dreams would need monitoring closely in the betting if getting a run.
