Forecasts

Lord Royal (8/11), Floueur (9/2), Well Set Up (11/2), Fully Charged (10/1), Vis Ta Loi (10/1), Run Wild Fred (14/1), Mr Hendricks (25/1), Battle Of Midway (33/1), Sailingtobyzantium (66/1)

LORD ROYAL has the profile of a hugely exciting prospect for this top yard and he could hardly have been any more impressive on his debut at Clonmel. Mr Hendricks should improve for this longer trip while Floueur is another exciting prospect worthy of consideration.
