Forecasts

Aared (3/1), Mawaany (4/1), Bay Hill (11/2), Lady Derrynane (6/1), Shannon Soul (6/1), Spruce Meadows (8/1), Moonmeister (8/1), Ruby Gates (11/1), Stormingin (16/1), Cash In Mind (25/1), Palmones (50/1)

The hat-trick seeking Bay Hill is respected and remains on the upgrade following an impressive success over a longer trip at Limerick a fortnight ago, but this won't be straightforward. Aared produced his best effort to date when winning at Navan and should be at home over this trip again having performed well enough off increased mark at that venue over the mile since. Moonmeister will be player if ready to roll on his seasonal bow but this might go to MAWAANY, who showed a nice attitude when winning on stable bow at Dundalk in January in a race that worked out well and could be open to further progress for a team in excellent form. Shannon Soul, thriving since the blinkers have gone on, is another to be considered.
