Forecasts

Ballsbridge (15/8), Taymura (3/1), Quare Hawk (10/3), Finsceal Go Deo (11/2), Givemehoperosa (6/1), Quantum Light (6/1), Unassuming (6/1), Thetys (17/2), Come On The Lads (12/1), Military Alliance (16/1), Applejack Poet (33/1), Jackie Robinson (50/1), Golden Goose (66/1), Needsomeluck (66/1), Easy Way (150/1)

Verdict

BALLSBRIDGE stepped up on his debut when runner-up at Naas 8 days ago and there's potential for more up in trip, so he's the obvious selection. Quare Hawk is a danger on the back of a promising start and Taymura makes plenty of appeal on pedigree.
