Forecasts

Karkiyna (8/11), Butterfly Island (5/2), Stayincotai (10/1), Pessoa (11/1), Gate Speed (11/1), Three Macks (14/1), Fair Joe (20/1), Songline (25/1), Military Crown (25/1), Jupiter Express (33/1), Bantry (33/1), Dane Fete (33/1), Artistic Rhythm (33/1), Cambrian Hills (33/1), Tawny Coster (50/1), Snow Lotus (125/1), Destivelle (125/1), Cheers Again (200/1), The Rabbit Catcher (250/1)

KARKIYNA and Butterfly Island possess much the best form on show and preference is for Johnny Murtagh's filly who comes here on the back of a good recent fifth in a big-field Curragh maiden and has her well-being proven more than Dermot Weld's returning filly. Artistic Rhythm appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
