Forecasts

James The Second (3/1), Unique Journey (10/3), Gazelle D'or (7/2), Dance For Chester (4/1), Island Girl (13/2), Eric Lock (10/1), Tilly's Company (10/1), Charanda (12/1), Kayamite (20/1), Sarahmae (25/1), Historical Fact (28/1), Stiorra (33/1)

UNIQUE JOURNEY rates the pick of these weights so is fancied to build on his excellent Galway second and get off the mark on his seasonal return. Gazelle d'Or heads the list of dangers on the back of her breakthrough Navan success with Eric Lock and Island Girl appealing as the pick of the rest in the battle for minor honours.
