Forecasts

Together Aclaim (5/6), Barbapapa (4/1), Hypernova (11/2), Almanera (7/1), Spirit And Glory (14/1), Patrick Street (25/1), Lovesome Dove (33/1), Urban Oasis (33/1), Dromore Glory (33/1), Somedayonedaynever (33/1), Danmars Rogue (33/1), Three Macks (40/1), Hey Kameir (50/1), Sister Bridget (80/1), Brave Troop (100/1), Dingle Rock (200/1), Dubirango (250/1)

TOGETHER ACLAIM holds a clear edge on form so is taken to get off the mark at the fourth attempt after his excellent second over C&D last month. Joseph O'Brien's Hypernova showed up well on his debut when third over C&D and rates second best with improvement very much on the cards now. His stable companion Almanera is also worth considering too for place purposes.
