Forecasts

Comein Comein (3/1), Eruption (10/3), Shoebox King (9/2), Spirit Of Eagles (5/1), Elliott (6/1), Marble Angel (13/2), Art Of Unity (11/1), Sam's Xpress (20/1), Hero Of The Hour (22/1), Coco Hill (22/1), Short Change (25/1), Coffeemeanscoffee (25/1), Rhasidat (40/1), Quiet Affair (50/1), Veracidad (66/1), Pearl Of Cotai (66/1)

SHOEBOX KING produced his best effort of the season when fourth at Tipperary a month ago and having been eased a further 2 lb coupled with a positive jockey booking, he has plenty to recommend him. Elliott caught the eye at Down Royal last time so he's a danger, along with Comein Comein.
