Forecasts

True Self (2/1), Cadillac (9/4), Thunder Kiss (9/2), Njord (13/2), Lough Derg (10/1), Raise You (12/1), Southern Lights (14/1), Ontario (16/1), Dawn Patrol (18/1), Zawara (18/1), Finans Bay (50/1), Lunar Space (50/1)

Verdict

Effervescent globe-trotter TRUE SELF is now eight years of age, but she still appears to be progressing judged on her fine third in the Tattersalls Gold Cup here last month. Willie Mullins' charge will prove a tough nut to crack if able to at least match that form in this lower grade. The Jessica Harrington-trained duo Cadillac and Njord are taken to fill the places.
