Forecasts

Dunum (11/2), Heavenly Power (13/2), Yermanthere (15/2), Cosmic Vega (8/1), Navagio (8/1), Half Nutz (11/1), Mary Salome (11/1), Pale Iris (12/1), Is That Love (12/1), Dairerin (14/1), San Aer (16/1), Breaking Story (16/1), Shawaamekh (18/1), Secret Magician (20/1), Ezine (20/1), Adelaise (22/1), Carlton Banks (22/1), Iva Feeling (33/1), Ampeson (40/1), J J Jumbo (50/1), Whatharm (100/1), Missing Matron (100/1), Patsy Fagan (125/1)

DUNUM did well to overcome the worst of the draw when making it 4 from 4 for the season at the Galway Festival so another 6 lb rise may underestimate him. Lightly-raced 3-y-o Adelaise was progressive for Freddie & Martyn Meade and is another to consider, along with last-time-out winners San Aer and Mary Salome.
