Forecasts

Easy Game (5/6), Kemboy (5/2), Call Me Lyreen (13/2), The Little Yank (15/2), The Dara Man (20/1)

This looks a good starting point for KEMBOY, who won't need to match his peak form to see these rivals off on these terms. Stablemate Easy Game has been outclassing the opposition this summer and with his run in the Galway Plate easy to excuse, is the obvious threat to his stablemate.
