Forecasts

Puerto Rico (4/6), Learntodiscover (7/2), Fresh Fade (13/2), Ennoble (14/1), Cape Cod (18/1), Annestown (20/1), Kensington Lane (40/1), Bobby Mcgee (50/1), Starred (50/1), She's Too Kool (66/1), Theroadtoserfdom (300/1)

PUERTO RICO gets the vote to build on his highly promising C&D debut fourth earlier in the month. Ger Lyons has won this 3 times in the last 4 years so Learntodiscover is respected on the back of his encouraging debut effort here in May. The selection's stablemate Cape Cod is a well-bred newcomer who could also have a say.
