Forecasts

Emorcee (5/4), Un Bacio Ancora (5/2), Lope De Rueda (4/1), Jalo (9/2), Californiagoldrush (9/1), Ballysax Lil' Mick (12/1), Empress Of Bough (14/1), Flotus Radiance (40/1), Tarfeh (150/1)

UN BACIO ANCORA arrives on the back of an excellent second (travelled well) in a maiden at the Curragh 6 days ago and a performance of similar merit should be enough for her to go one better unless Emorcee can bounce back to his best down in grade. Lope de Rueda isn't a forlorn hope.
