Forecasts

Temptationinmilan (5/2), Outside The Door (7/1), China Princess (15/2), Vee Dancer (8/1), Stansfield (9/1), Game Catch (11/1), Stockdale (12/1), Final Orders (12/1), Excelcior (14/1), Winnie Woodnutt (20/1), Ardhill (20/1), Kells Priory (20/1), Call Me Freddie (22/1), Warreedy (22/1), Allduckornodinner (40/1), Journey West (66/1), Largy Princess (66/1), Frankly All Talk (66/1), Building Bridges (66/1), Mcquinn (80/1), Treasure Mountain (150/1)

Lots with chances. TEMPTATIONINMILAN looks the way to go here and can record his first success now his stamina is being drawn out. China Princess wasn't seen to best effect at Tipperary and heads the list of dangers, although Excelcior, Game Catch and Largy Princess all figure high on the shortlist too.
