Forecasts

Hey Gaman (7/4), Romanised (2/1), Safe Voyage (5/1), Flight Risk (8/1), Dunkirk Harbour (14/1), Mr Lupton (16/1), Gordon Lord Byron (25/1), San Andreas (33/1), All The King's Men (50/1), North Wind (66/1)

Verdict

HEY GAMAN produced a career-best when winning a Group 3 in France last time out and could provide trainer James Tate with a first win on Irish soil here. He may be able to dictate matters from the front under Frankie Dettori and, if doing so, will be a tough nut to crack. Queen Anne fourth Romanised is a big danger after his run last time out while Safe Voyage warrants this step up in grade after his performance at Haydock last time out.
  1. Hey Gaman
  2. Safe Voyage
  3. Romanised
