Forecasts

Lord Abama (5/2), El Magnifique (7/2), Gobi Star (4/1), Susies Sapphire (9/2), Joyous Moment (12/1), New York Dreams (14/1), Chrismoltisanti (20/1), Padjoy (20/1), Black Hawk Eagle (22/1), Zaghraf (28/1), Breezy Zoff (40/1), Megnificant (40/1), Mr Rango (66/1), Gate Speed (80/1), Madame Montgomery (200/1), Hot Whispers (200/1), Heledd (250/1), Excel Rocket (250/1)

LORD ABAMA shaped well when fourth in a big-field maiden at the Curragh in the autumn and shades the vote over standard-setter El Magnifique. Gobi Star and Breezy Zoff are others to consider.
