Forecasts

Duke Of Cumberland (5/6), Killashee Warrior (7/4), Chapel Lane (6/1), Blissful Bonita (9/1), Matilda Joslyngage (28/1), Vantage Code (40/1), Tenacious (80/1), Connor Of Mali (125/1), Cadreville (150/1), Zorka (300/1), Doctor Angelicus (300/1)

KILLASHEE WARRIOR is more than capable of winning a maiden judged on her fourth behind subsequent Prix Marcel Boussac winner Diamond Necklace in a listed race at Leopardstown last month. Duke of Cumberland was ahead of a subsequent winner when only just edged out in a similar event at Naas 3 weeks ago and is the obvious threat. Chapel Lane is worth another chance to confirm debut promise and is best of the others.
