Forecasts

Lucailem (9/2), Gali Flight (6/1), Lily Light Foot (13/2), Broken Ice (7/1), A Different World (7/1), Lessofdnegativity (9/1), Alfieri (10/1), Mutual Respect (12/1), In Your Shadow (14/1), Trevena (16/1), Memorable Daise (16/1), Definiteadare (20/1), Susie Miller (20/1), Silver Planeur (20/1), Dicebox (20/1), Rocc On Eddie (50/1), Elegant Dan (66/1), Highland Sting (66/1)

LUCAILEM can race off the same mark as when a very good third at Tipperary and with few miles still on the clock he is fancied to open his account. Lessofdnagetivity and Broken Ice both arrives in decent nick too and can chase home Matthew Smith's 6-y-o in that order.
