Forecasts

True Love (1/4), Gstaad (4/5), Puerto Rico (13/2), Power Blue (10/1), Green Sense (12/1), Do Bronxs (100/1)

A mouthwatering clash between Ballydoyle pair TRUE LOVE and Gstaad. The latter came out on top by ¾ length when they faced up in a Navan maiden in the spring but True Love couldn't have been much more impressive in her 2 outings since, particularly in the Railway over C&D, and is taken to come out narrowly on top this time.
