Forecasts

Broadhurst (5/2), Livio Milo (11/4), Shadowed (4/1), Prove It (5/1), Frazil (10/1), Miami Thunder (12/1), Red Letter Bray (16/1), Bright Legend (25/1), Winston Spencer (28/1), Alexander John (33/1), Blanc De Noir (33/1), Something Nice (40/1), Paradise Perfect (40/1), Master Dunraven (50/1), Nicky's Champ (50/1), Cristo Redentor (66/1), Macinamillion (80/1), Ahsuruknowurself (100/1), Charlie Darling (100/1), Play It Again Zaam (200/1), Akaabir (200/1), Moondharrig (200/1), Superlike (250/1)

BROADHURST offered definite promise amidst clear signs of greenness when keeping on well for second in a Navan maiden (5.7f) on debut last spring and, with the distinct possibility of more to come for his powerful stable this term, he gets the nod to come out on top. Livio Milo and Shadowed are a couple of others expected to be in the shake up. Whilst Prove It is a newcomer to note.
