Forecasts

Galveston (4/6), Washington Street (4/1), Serious Contender (11/2), Edge Of Seventeen (14/1), Hollys Graces (14/1), Balibel (16/1), Call Me Captain (18/1), Quiz Question (20/1), Diamond Exchange (20/1), Nell's Dream (33/1), Reyenzi (40/1), Clementines Dream (50/1)

A host of well-bred types in this maiden with GALVESTON given the nod. He fetched no less than 2,000,000 gns as a yearling and with several Group-race entries he could be the way to go. Washington Street and Serious Contender are others to consider, as is Edge of Seventeen who landed a barrier trial at Leopardstown last month.
