Forecasts

Latin (5/4), Bitacora (11/2), Cryptos Dream (6/1), Beaming Light (13/2), Back From Dubai (7/1), Trusty Scout (12/1), Balqaa (12/1), Bandello (14/1), Naughty Niall (18/1), Sun Festival (20/1), Dors Delight (33/1), Aeroplane Mode (33/1), Change Of Fortune (50/1)

LATIN is nicely handicapped on his best Irish form and can become yet another to make a winning start for James Owen. Balqaa shaped quite well at Beverley last time and is feared most ahead of Bitacora and Tom Marquand's mount Cryptos Dream.
