Forecasts

Sylkie (4/1), Annie's Angel (5/1), San Aer (11/2), Ribee (6/1), Rhythm King (9/1), Blue Moon Boy (11/1), Goldrush Kid (11/1), Titanium (14/1), On A Session (14/1), Lady Arwen (14/1), La Tulipe Noire (16/1), Love Is Blind (20/1), Shelbourne (22/1), Sinbad My Dad (33/1), Zephron (40/1), Buttermere Ridge (80/1)

SAN AER goes well at Galway, his last win coming in this race in 2023, and he could be the way to go after an encouraging start for this yard at Naas. Sylkie, another with a good record here, and last-time-out winners Blue Moon Boy and Ribee are dangers.
