Forecasts

Alex D (6/4), The Piano Player (7/2), Benaud (9/2), Bullock Park (5/1), Castle Stables (7/1), Uno Miligre (10/1), Haigney (14/1), Lusaka (20/1), Dilseacht (28/1), Kujuku (28/1), Pale Iris (33/1), Baron Wild (40/1), Duke Otto (50/1), Ten Ten Twenty (50/1), Knocknacarrow (50/1), Devious Dreamer (50/1), Kilonova (66/1), Enger (100/1), Ellabella (125/1)

ALEX D was a bit disappointing at Naas last time but is the clear form pick on his second here before that and is worth another chance. The Piano Player is a well-bred newcomer and an obvious danger, while Castle Stables has something to find with the selection, but should come on for his debut just over 3 weeks ago.
