From the first crop of 2016 Norfolk winner Prince Of Lir (includes last week's winner of same race); travelled encouragingly on debut at Naas recently and perhaps will find more in a finish on better ground forecast here.

Forecasts

Dense Star (11/10), Giselles Thunder (9/2), Amazed By Grace (13/2), Going Global (8/1), Brosna Empress (10/1), Miss Amulet (11/1), Elysium (12/1), Boasting (16/1), Adakaz (28/1), Maedhbh (33/1), Boojoom (40/1), Froral Purl (66/1)

Having made a decent start at Naas behind impressive winner More Beautiful, the Joseph O'Brien-trained DENSE STAR is entitled to improve for the run and prove hard to beat in this event. Newcomer Brosna Express should prove useful along with Giselles Thunder while Elysium and Miss Amulet may improve on their debut efforts.
