Forecasts

Kara Sacre (5/4), Sticktotheplan (5/2), Reiki Revolution (9/2), Seeitoldya (8/1), Corbally Cross (12/1), Qaasid (16/1), Ballyharney (18/1), Gaoithe Glory (28/1), Simple Old Game (33/1), Pistocchi (40/1), Tinking Man (50/1), Fancy A Tipple (100/1), Political Stance (100/1), Ask Phil (125/1), Rhythmic Tune (150/1), Ballinaboola Jet (150/1), Golden Reel (250/1)

Verdict

The return to a left-handed track is a big plus for KARA SACRE, who shaped with abundant promise when runner-up on his hurdles debut at Naas before his tendency to hang/jump left proved costly going right-handed at Down Royal last time. He earns the confident vote, with Sticktotheplan and Reiki Revolution taken to fill the places.
