Forecasts

Equilove (9/4), Inner Beauty (5/2), Amber Kite (11/4), Royal Blend (8/1), Consternation (9/1), Majestic Steps (10/1), Verbal Fencing (22/1), Going Global (25/1), Mass Gathering (33/1), Orochi (66/1), Aqua Flyer (80/1)

The Joseph O'Brien yard have started to hit form with the trainer landing a treble at the Curragh on Friday, adding to that win with Buckhurst on Saturday. His Zoffany filly, ROYAL BLEND can get off the mark for connections at the second time of asking as the filly improves on her debut run at the Curragh over 5f. The Ken Condon-trained Inner Beauty can continue her improvement in this contest with Equilove also on the shortlist from the Jessica Harrington yard. The Ger Lyons-trained Amber Kite looks an interesting newcomer and should be noted in the market as post-time looms in the opener.
