Forecasts

Whistlejacket (5/4), Cowardofthecounty (7/2), Ides Of March (4/1), Sparkling Sea (5/1), Bodhi Bear (10/1), Pedro Nunes (20/1), Midnight Strike (25/1)

Aidan O'Brien holds the key to this but it may be IDEAS OF MARCH rather than Ryan Moore's pick Whistlejacket that emerges on top. The latter did very little wrong as a 2-y-o but his stablemate possesses the greater scope for improvement and is more appealing at the forecast prices. Bodhi Bear is going the right way and he is taken to claim minor hours ahead of Cowardofthecounty and Dundalk debut winner Pedro Nunes.
