Forecasts

Calzaghi (5/2), Positive Energy (3/1), Kevin The Great (9/2), Convincing (7/1), Galician Girl (8/1), Galaxy Wonder (14/1), Shelbourne (14/1), Not Simple (16/1), Edergole's Angel (16/1), Timandi (20/1), Unterberg (22/1), Autocrat (22/1), Capital Theory (25/1), Calamint (25/1), Daonethatgotaway (33/1), Magna Gee Gee (33/1), Cezarro (50/1), Bint Majestic Roi (66/1), Aingeal Dorcha (80/1)

This is wide open but POSITIVE ENERGY rates just the pick at the weights on the back of a good second in a big-field Gowran handicap so edges the verdict from Convincing who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fifth in the same contest last time out. Timandi should beneft from dropping back in trip and can also have a say along with in-form duo Not Simple and Kevin The Great. Edergole's Angel completes the shortlist.
