Forecasts

Currawood (2/1), Skukuza (11/4), Alakazi (11/4), Fiery Lucy (13/2), Lord Massusus (17/2), The Liffey (18/1), Bluedrum (33/1), Wahdan (80/1), Howyoulikethat (200/1)

CURRAWOOD should find the return to 1m ideal and can strike for Paddy Twomey and Billy Lee. British raider Skukuza did it well in handicap company here on Irish Guineas weekend and is second choice ahead of last year's winner Lord Massusus.
