Forecasts

Batcio (6/4), Braid Blue (11/4), Kaatskill Nap (3/1), Presentingprincess (11/2), Ozzie's Way (9/1), Knocknarae King (80/1), Worzel Gummidge (100/1), Byron Vandou (100/1)

Verdict

Recent Tony Bloom purchase KAATSKILL NAP can build on his promising third of 17 on hurdling debut in a Gowran Park maiden in June by getting off the mark at the second time of asking. Biggest dangers could prove to be duel bumper winner Braid Blue from the Gordon Elliott yard and potential improver Batcio. There was nothing wrong with the performance of Presentingprincess finishing behind Percy Veer at Listowel last week and can go well at a price.
