Forecasts

Prince Zaltar (11/4), Aeros Luck (10/3), Marv Michael (9/2), General Clermont (8/1), The Dasher Conway (8/1), Hand Over Fist (12/1), Rainbow Trail (12/1), Bocelli's Voice (18/1), Miss Oreo (18/1), Lake Chad (28/1), Good As Hell (33/1)

AEROS LUCK likely has more to come over fences now tackling a handicap for the first time and is preferred to last month's Limerick and Tramore runner-up General Clermont. The returning Hand Over Fist could have even bigger performances in him this summer and is next on the list ahead of last year's winner The Dasher County.
