Forecasts

Sinawann (11/4), Khartoum (7/2), Fourhometwo (4/1), State Of Rest (13/2), Belle Image (7/1), Charterhouse (12/1), Harpocrates (16/1), Georgeville (18/1), Storm Legend (33/1), Saltonstall (40/1), Bowerman (50/1)

SINAWANN was a place behind Fourhometwo in a Leopardstown listed at the beginning of the month but the Aga Khan's 4-y-o should be spot on with that run behind him and is selected to turn the tables on Johnny Murtagh's charge. State of Rest was third in the Group 2 Champagne at Doncaster last year and is also respected on his return to action.
