Forecasts

Mr Tony (11/4), Badger's Cove (7/2), Ella's Gold (4/1), Bullet Bourbon (11/2), Balance Of Trade (8/1), Green Universe (11/1), Elora Prince (11/1), Sapphire Dream (12/1), Believe Believe (14/1), A Pretty Penny (14/1), Stone Bear (14/1), Stairiuil (16/1), Invincible Rocket (16/1), Beau Army (16/1), Saxon Grace (20/1), Canon Law (25/1), Survivor's Code (25/1), Imnotleavinyou (28/1), Fortis Puer (33/1)

Only a handful of these are appealing from a win perspective, namely BADGER'S COVE, Ella's Gold and Mr Tony. The last-named took a step forward on his nursery debut and while he looks ready for 1m+, the Kodiac colt could have a leading role to play if responding well to first-time blinkers. Still, Badger's Cove and Ella's Gold shade preference in that order on the back of improved placed efforts on their latest appearances, with Badger's Cove looking a shade unlucky when third at Fairyhouse.
