Forecasts

Al Riffa (5/6), Alfred Munnings (4/1), Layfayette (9/2), Mashhoor (6/1), Self Belief (16/1)

Provided he's ready to roll for this belated seasonal reappearance AL RIFFA will take plenty of stopping. He looked an exciting prospect when coming from last to first to land the Group 1 National Stakes over 7f here on his final 2-y-o start and bring plenty of potential for middle distances this season. The consistent Layfayette regained the winning thread at Limerick recently and is second choice ahead of the progressive Mashhoor.
