Forecasts

Santa Bravado (3/1), Mid Flight (10/3), Grand Premiere (7/2), Minella Rockett (15/2), Gold Find (9/1), Lauda (10/1), Manton Bay (12/1), Senator Of State (16/1), Starflow (25/1), Grey Sands (28/1), Koekkoek (50/1), Connecteo (200/1), Keskon (400/1)

Billy Lee retains the ride on SANTA BRAVADO who shaped nicely in a big-field race at the Curragh on his recent debut and might be able to improve past John Nallen's Minella Rockett. Mid Flight needed the experience on his Punchestown debut and is likely to progress, while Grand Premier is an interesting newcomer from the Jessie Harrington stable.
