Forecasts

Treasure Isle (5/4), Irish Acclamation (2/1), Passing Phase (6/1), Midnight Strike (15/2), Jack Major (14/1), Boyne Valley (40/1)

The eyes are immediately drawn to TREASURE ISLE, who looks the part on paper and confidence behind him in the betting would look highly significant. Passing Phase is second choice, albeit only marginally as Irish Acclamation is entitled to build on his encouraging debut at Cork and Midnight Strike is another newcomer with seemingly strong credentials.
