Forecasts

Dynakite (13/8), Dagoda (6/1), Breagagh (7/1), Li Mu Bai (17/2), Abogados (17/2), International Lady (9/1), Resourceful Man (10/1), Corballis Flyer (12/1), California Poppy (14/1), Dreams Delivered (20/1), The Blue Garter (25/1)

DYNAKITE looks to have been found a good opportunity to open his account racing off the same mark as when a very good third at Tipperary only four days ago. In-form Breagagh also arrives looking for a first success and is feared most wtih Resourceful Man likely to be on the premises if back on song after his below-par Curragh showing.
