Forecasts

Cadillac (4/5), Van Gogh (7/2), Military Style (7/2), Snapraeterea (6/1), Southern Cape (9/1), To Glory (18/1), Ontario (20/1), Mac Swiney (28/1), Trusted Ally (50/1)

CADILLAC looked a 2-y-o of rare merit when a stylish winner on debut at Leopardstown and with the vanquished second that day winning next time, there's definite substance to that form, He can take the step up in class in his stride, probably at the chief expense of Tyros Stakes 1-2 Military Style and Van Gogh.
