Forecasts

Mea Domina (2/1), Carrytheone (9/2), Power Under Me (5/1), Hannibal Barca (5/1), Nightcliff (15/2), Goldana (17/2), Cosmic Vega (12/1)

POWER UNDER ME holds the edge on form and should be all the better for his reappearance Leopardstown fifth so gets the vote in an open Group 3. Mea Domina made an encouraging start for her new yard when third in the same contest so rates a big threat, while the Joseph O'Brien trained-duo Goldana and Hannibal Barca must enter calculations too.
