Forecasts

King Of Stars (4/6), Inflection Point (11/4), Thaleeq (5/1), Musical Rue (12/1), Nice Child Two (20/1), Rockview Empress (22/1), Deadwood (50/1), Rojo (50/1), Cyan Seize (100/1)

The Joseph O'Brien-trained KING OF STARS can get off the mark for connections at the fifth time of asking. The gelding can build on a couple of solid juvenile efforts and his promising run on seasonal debut at Tipperary last month. Inflection Point for trainer Kieran Cotter has not had the best of luck in a couple of starts recently but can emerge as the biggest danger here, while the John O'Connell-trained Deadwood and Thaleeq for Dermot Weld are likely to be better than their last efforts suggest.
