Forecasts
Cape Cod (5/6), Enceladus (10/3), Breaking Dawn (9/2), Choir Boy (8/1), Kactus Jack (14/1), Handani (33/1), Ballycotton Bay (66/1), Hello Garda (300/1)
CAPE COD can get off the mark after another good run at the Curragh. Enceladus was in behind him there first time up and should improve, while Choir Boy is another well-bred Coolmore newcomer to monitor.
