Forecasts

Dr Zempf (11/10), Glounthaune (10/3), New Energy (11/2), Mctigue (9/1), The Acropolis (12/1), Howth (20/1), Exquisite Acclaim (22/1), Morning Soldier (50/1)

Verdict

DR ZEMPF signed off last term with a creditable eighth in the Middle Park and holds the clear edge on form so is fancied to regain winning ways before tackling better company once more. Glounthaune looks the pick of Aidan O'Brien's trio and is rated next best with Mctigue a lively outsider for a yard bidding to complete a hat-trick in this event.
