Forecasts

Yosemite Valley (5/6), Vera's Secret (5/2), First Gentleman (11/2), Alexander John (14/1), Never Cry Never (20/1), Loma Larnee (25/1), Un Bacio Ancora (50/1), Charlie Brow'n (50/1), Nouvel Espoir (80/1), A Day In Deauville (200/1)

Verdict

YOSEMITE VALLEY made an encouraging return from a long absence when runner-up at Navan last month and should prove a tough nut to crack here. Vera's Secret also shaped well though when a debut second at Punchestown so should ensure that Donnacha O'Brien's colt doesn't have things all his own way. Newcomer Never Cry Never catches the eye on pedigree so is worth monitoring in the betting too.
