Forecasts

Potala Palace (8/11), Kells (4/1), Mere Catherine (9/1), Perry Owens (10/1), Recall The Show (11/1), Justina (16/1), Mighty Mirage (25/1), Saphiri (25/1), Golden Glow (40/1)

Intiguing opener where the Joseph O'Brien-trained PORTALA PALACE can open his account at the third attempt following up on a creditable run at Leopardstown last month. The Dansili colt can get the better of Kells on his second start after a disappointing debut at Gowran Park. Newcomers Mere Catherine for the Dermot Weld yard and the Jessica Harrington pair Recall The Show and Justina are not to be taken lightly.
