Forecasts

Kastasa (2/1), Dawn Patrol (5/2), Barrington Court (4/1), Springbank (8/1), Traisha (9/1), Mighty Blue (16/1), Elizabethofaragon (28/1), Prose (40/1), Raa Atoll (40/1), Cypress Creek (150/1)

KASTASA saw her winning run come to an end in a similar event at Naas 5 weeks ago but it was still a creditable effort and looks the type who is likely to benefit from the application of a visor. Dawn Patrol ran as well as could have been expected in the St Leger at Doncaster 2 weeks ago should make much more of an impact here, while Barrington Court is potentially smart stepping up in trip.
