Forecasts

Elysium (6/5), Snapraeterea (5/4), Amber Kite (9/4), Lunar Space (8/1), Malaysian (10/1), Cornish Rock (16/1), Pageboy (33/1), The Casino King (33/1), Dark Street (50/1)

AMBER KITE made it third time lucky when leading from pillar to post at Gowran and, with the promise of even better to come, she is taken to follow up here. Elysium was third behind a couple of potentially useful types at Leopardstown and is next on the list, given that Snapraeterea is unlikely to appreciate this drop in trip.
