Forecasts

Kitty Galore (3/1), Feel Des Mottes (4/1), Trixie Mc (7/1), Bonarc (7/1), Reverse Polarity (15/2), Coulonces (11/1), Plinth (12/1), Bridge Native (14/1), Princely Conn (16/1), Falak (18/1), Rock Chica (25/1), Mr Moondance (33/1)

KITTY GALORE is 9 lb above the mark off which she accounted for Bridge Native at Limerick last October, but a second career win should be imminent judged on her solid effort at Down Royal last week. Bridge Native put in a good shift in a competitive Galway handicap chase last time and her mark in this sphere is significantly lower, but Feel Des Mottes and Reverse Polarity rate the main dangers.
