Forecasts

Kitty Galore (3/1), Darkened (9/2), Fassbender (6/1), Heliers Bay (7/1), Tim Rocco (17/2), Jazz Ranger (9/1), Central Court (11/1), Ask The Leader (12/1), Mullins Cross (14/1), Its My Deal (14/1), All The Angels (18/1), Back To Bataan (20/1), Rocky Stream (25/1), Tonkinese (28/1), Swiss Cottage (33/1), Buto (40/1), It's All Gucci (40/1)

FASSBENDER is 0-16 in this sphere following a disappointing display in the Kilbeggan race won by10 days ago 10 days ago, but he was threatening to come good prior to that and, now 7 lb better off with that rival, is worth another chance for his in-form yard. Darkened should again be involved and Heliers Bay will have claims if able to back up her latest effort, but Kitty Galore is feared most.
