Forecasts

Holy See (6/4), Bacchanalian (7/2), Murcia (7/2), Kurasso Blue (6/1), Castleheath (8/1), Ephesus (16/1), Mickey Cohen (100/1)

KURASSO BLUE is an interesting new recruit for Gordon Elliott and gets the vote, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Bacchanalian ran as well as could be expected in the Grade 1 juvenile at Leopardstown last weekend and is second choice ahead of Murcia.
