Forecasts

Mr Escobar (7/4), Irish Panther (5/2), Stormbreaker (11/4), Nowwhatdoyouthink (17/2), Ask The Bookie (10/1), Shantou Princess (25/1), Boston Rajj (33/1), Youmzain Bolt (33/1), Annamaymurt (40/1), Sky Legend (50/1), It's His Life (50/1), On Your Way (66/1), Boston Beach (125/1), Opposite Ends (150/1), Belmont Jet (150/1), Major Wells (150/1), Another Question (250/1), Rag N Bone (300/1), Nothingtoseehere (300/1)

STORMBREAKER chased home a pretty useful type in Intense Approach (winner again since) on debut in this sphere at Downpatrick and, with the promise of better to come, he earns the vote ahead of Irish Panther, who sets the standard but he was below par at Killarney when last seen in May and is becoming expensive to follow. The selection's stablemate Mr Escobar is best of the rest.
