Forecasts

Luxembourg (11/4), Manu Et Corde (3/1), Shark Bay (5/1), Atomic Jones (11/2), Lucky San Jore (11/2), Shinkansen (13/2), Men On The Hill (7/1), Point Gellibrand (10/1), Chicago Soldier (16/1), I Am Magic (16/1), Play By The Rules (33/1)

Mostly newcomers, and Aidan O'Brien's Camelot colt LUXEMBOURG makes plenty of appeal on paper. Stable-companion Shark Bay is another to keep an eye on in the betting, while Shinkansen is the pick of those with experience.
