Forecasts

Himalayan Heights (5/2), Aztec Sun (11/4), Highbury (10/3), Alonzo (7/2), Birdman (8/1), Royal Entry (28/1), Casapulla (300/1)

Verdict

Potentially a good opening for HIGHBURY on debut. He makes plenty of appeal on paper and is typically well entered up for Aidan O'Brien. Himalayan Heights made an encouraging start at Leopardstown and seems sure to improve up in trip, so looks the clear danger.
