Forecasts

Masaff (13/8), Sovereign (3/1), Guaranteed (9/2), Zander (6/1), Cosmic Horizon (8/1), Elleanthus (10/1), Millswyn (12/1), Kestrel Prince (16/1), Oiche Re Gealai (50/1)

Verdict

The form of MASAFF's third here last month on Champions Weekend looks strong, with Dermot Weld's charge not beaten far in Group 2 fare. That was just his second start and there should be plenty more to come, ensuring he holds the vote. Sovereign goes up in distance having failed to make all at Naas in a Group 2 himself, and is respected. The likes of Guaranteed, Cosmic Horizon and Zander are all improving sorts, though each has more to find seemingly.
