Forecasts

Minerva (4/7), Take A Bow (6/1), Garden Party (8/1), Divine Legend (9/1), Shamlia (11/1), Croi Gra (20/1), Trumph (25/1), Charm Of Venice (25/1), Celestially (25/1), Keepsgettingbetter (33/1), Micaela De Lujan (66/1), Push Harder (150/1), Arizona Star (250/1), Aquilla Star (300/1)

MINERVA ran a cracker in better company at the Curragh last time and looks the one to beat here. Stable companions Take A Bow and Garden Party may provide the chief threat.
