Forecasts

Cougar (10/11), Nemean (10/3), Active Duty (5/1), Nusret (15/2), Adonis (8/1), Cheviot Beach (14/1), Rosso Corsa (16/1), Gatito Rapido (18/1), Ceallach (20/1), Monarchs Brae (22/1), Astelia (28/1), Lakewood (40/1), An Madra Mor (66/1), Paradise Lost (100/1), What About This (125/1), Fryda (150/1), Indy System (200/1)

Aidan O'Brien's Deep Impact colt COUGAR holds the edge on form and is taken to open his account after a run of three placed efforts. Nusret also has the form to have a say on the back of his good Navan second and is feared most, although Nemean can be expected to build on his debut Gowran second and make his presence felt.
