Forecasts

Kafu (11/8), Rangefield Express (11/4), Rest Bay (6/1), Anna's Girl (10/1), Lady Baroness (12/1), Elusive Fantasy (16/1), The Black Dandy (16/1), Sunday Scholar (20/1), From Glen To Glen (25/1)

Verdict

It pays to be up with the pace over this trip at Down Royal and RANGEFIELD EXPRESS is taken to build on his promising debut at Dundalk on the AW last month. The Ger Lyons-trained Kafu can be expected to improve on his debut run at the Curragh while Rest Bay is worthy of consideration in the opener.
