Forecasts

Innisfree (4/9), Shekhem (3/1), Xian Express (7/1), Pink Jazz (16/1), Cap D'Antibes (20/1), Wyett Earp (25/1), Hay Kimbello (25/1), A Mere Bagatelle (33/1)

Verdict

It will be a big surprise if INNISFREE doesn't go one better than his debut second at Naas in what looks a very ordinary contest with that form comfortably the best on offer. Dermot Weld's first runner of the festival Shekhem can chase him home ahead of pick of the debutants Xian Express.
  1. Innisfree
