Forecasts

First Wave (5/4), Serengeti (2/1), Hostility (4/1), Aeon's Aegis (15/2), Washington Street (22/1), Grand Dante (40/1), Charanda (40/1), Oreeda (100/1), Fervent (150/1), Rushes And Bushes (150/1), Alaskan Red (200/1)

FIRST WAVE found only Dewhurst runner-up and stablemate Expanded too good on debut at the Curragh, shaping really well, and he's sure to progress and win races. Serengeti looked a touch disappointing at Leopardstown, but his successful stable companion Twain took the Criterium International at the weekend so he's fancied to give Aidan O'Brien another 1-2. Hostility is feared.
