Forecasts

Zeus Power (9/4), Burning Ability (5/2), Premier Rogue (5/2), Leonard Vallis (5/2), Jet Renegade (7/1), Shabra Diya (11/1), Poet's Gale (18/1), Our Guide (33/1), Let's Go La Fichad (33/1), Dark Lieutenant (40/1)

ZEUS POWER showed plenty to work on amidst inexperience when second here 18 days ago and is fancied to go one better. Leonard Vallis produced a promising first effort when runner-up in a novice hurdle at Gowran and looks the obvious threat switched to a bumper. Premier Rogue can place again.
