Forecasts

Surpass And Shine (15/8), Goldmoyne (4/1), Church Mountain (10/1), Amemri (10/1), Blue Wood (11/1), Distillate (14/1), Morning Approach (14/1), Rattletheonionbag (14/1), Sobriety Blue (14/1), Baalbec Beauty (18/1), Trueba (20/1), Jackie Brown (20/1), Adam's Boy (33/1), Aisling Oscar (33/1), Weston Grey (33/1), Hastily (33/1), Tropical Shot (50/1), Chica Linda (50/1), Pass The Sugar (80/1), Quite Content (100/1)

SURPASS AND SHINE arrives in top form, which can't be said for many of his rivals, and he's fancied to go one better than his excellent second at Leopardstown last month. Goldmoyne and Church Mountain could emerge as the main dangers.
