Forecasts

Samrogue (6/1), Seven Worlds (7/1), Lexington Liberty (8/1), Missemma (17/2), Myrcella (9/1), Amazing Emma (11/1), Markievicz (14/1), No Patience (14/1), Conversant (14/1), Cactus Tree (14/1), Mass Gathering (16/1), Maccliff (16/1), Blastofmagic (18/1), Jensons Joy (20/1), Darkdeserthighway (22/1), Cailin Cliste (25/1), We're On The Way (25/1), Wild Eyed Girl (28/1), Let's Believe (40/1), Breach (40/1), Purring Along (40/1), Ceapach Rua (40/1), Andromedas Kingdom (50/1), The Cola Brasil (50/1), Alqabeela (66/1), Oneofararekind (80/1)

CONVERSANT is nicely handicapped and shaped like he needed the run when a close-up eighth over C&D on reappearance, so he gets the tentative vote to prevail in this tricky sprint handicap. The improving Samrogue is an obvious danger, while the selection's stablemate Lexington Liberty shouldn't be ruled out.
