Forecasts

Zozimus (2/1), Offiah (11/4), Bears Hug (16/5), Always Waitin (6/1), Louisville (9/1), Cloudland (10/1), Soaring Sky (18/1), Uno Miligre (22/1), Aleksey Tolstoy (33/1), Collective Power (200/1), Project Two (200/1), Ten Ten Twenty (200/1), Classical Memories (200/1), Twilight Tadhg (200/1)

ZOZIMUS took his form to a new level when runner-up in a nursery at the Curragh last month and a repeat of that performance may well enable him to go one better. Bears Hug has made a bright start and is second choice, though an improved showing from Always Waitin would come as no surprise.
