Forecasts

Caesar's Comet (7/4), Monumental Man (10/3), The King's Steed (10/3), Trotter (7/1), Berlios (12/1), Coastal Drive (14/1), Dark Confidant (14/1), Fantasy Justifier (16/1), Castlerea Tess (25/1), Kingsley Klarion (25/1), Whitecrest (33/1), Valentine Mist (50/1), Pranceabootthetoon (80/1)

CAESAR'S COMET took a big field handicap at Fairyhouse on Sunday and he can make this quick reappearance pay with victory in a competitive looking contest. Denis Hogan's charge is improving with racing since joining the yard and can see off his rivals here with Laytown winner Monumental Man capable of finishing second. Third place can go to Berlios who has cheekpieces tried for the first time and placed off this mark last time.
