Forecasts

River Of Life (2/1), Fate's Gambit (11/4), Lady In Gold (7/2), Neon Eyes (7/1), Hot Hot (11/1), Queen Earthlight (12/1), Vishaya (14/1), Princess Chloe (14/1), Cash On Black (14/1), Artsman (25/1), Katie Belle (28/1), Unfamiliar (80/1), No Bother Aoife (100/1), My Oddessy (100/1), Royal Sapphire (125/1), Chapelhillhart (150/1)

Former jockey Robson De Aguiar has made a bright start his training career and in FATE'S GAMBIT he saddles an appealing newcomer. The booking of Wayne Lordan is an obvious plus and if there's money around for this 60,000 gns purchase the hint should be taken. The Joseph O'Brien-trained debutantes Lady In Gold and Vishaya are both appealing on paper, while Neon Eyes is the pick of those with experience on the back of her encouraging C&D debut third last month.
