Forecasts

Cage Rattler (4/1), Boadicea Belle (4/1), Passionate (9/2), Kodiac Prince (5/1), Status Green (13/2), Paper Doll (8/1), Comfort Line (17/2), Ano Manna (17/2), Kinda Tiny (10/1), Angel On Fire (10/1), On Our Radar (10/1), Daonethatgotaway (12/1), Venetian (20/1), Sunday Evening (25/1), Trueba (33/1), Perfect Curves (80/1), Talking Tough (80/1), Chimeric (80/1)

KODIAC PRINCE is back around his last winning mark and could be the answer to this following a decent second in a big-field Gowran handicap last week. Comfort Line also found just one too good on his latest start at Naas and he is just about second choice ahead of Passionate, who is taken to reverse recent Gowran placings with Cage Rattler on these revised terms and with this step back up to a mile a plus. Daonethatgotaway is another to consider.
