13/2

Forecasts

Kalaxana (1/1), Echo Park (6/1), Timiniya (13/2), Side Effect (8/1), Comeragh Haze (12/1), Styler Label (12/1), Peace Approved (18/1), Maewyn (20/1), Mountjubilee (20/1), Belle Free (50/1), Fake Media (50/1), Spice Blossom (66/1), The Factory Girl (66/1), Departures (80/1), Liffeydale Dreamer (100/1), New York Lady (100/1)

KALAXANA is one of two leading contender in the colours of the Aga Khan here and may be the answer for trainer Mick Halford. She showed improved form on her recent seasonal bow at Naas and may go one better now. In the same colours Timiniya should also be capable of going well after a decent showing at Clonmel last time. Echo Park merits plenty respect while Mountjubilee and Styler Label are notable newcomers.
