Forecasts

Clarens (7/2), Star Official (18/5), Belle The Lioness (4/1), Bynx (6/1), Cerberus (6/1), Little Mixup (9/1), Rasiym (12/1), Man River (16/1), The Grey Falco (28/1)

Verdict

BELLE THE LIONESS made an encouraging return when third at Wexford and can take a step forward now going into handicaps and resume winning ways. Clarens should prove suited by reverting to this trip so could emerge as the main danger to Henry de Bromhead's mare ahead of Star Official.

  1. BELLE THE LIONESS (IRE)
  2. CLARENS (IRE)
  3. STAR OFFICIAL (IRE)
