Forecasts

Gymkhana (11/4), Downforce (3/1), Giant Spark (13/2), Only Mine (8/1), Master Speaker (11/1), Spirit Quartz (12/1), Great Minds (14/1), Penny Pepper (16/1), Sors (16/1), Dandyman Port (20/1), Heroic Heart (66/1)

Verdict

Many of these ran nice races in some of last season's biggest sprints, and now have a chance to showcase their own ability in the first Listed sprint of the Irish season. GYMKHANA is one of the only horses here with the benefit of a run so far this season, and he looked in fine fettle when winning at Naas last week. If repeating that performance he could be hard to beat despite this higher class contest, which Great Minds was fifth in last year, and could be on the premises again. Only Mine ran well behind Quiet Reflection in the Haydock Sprint Cup and is another who could go well if overcoming the long winter break.
