Forecasts

Downdraft (3/1), For Pleasure (10/3), The King (9/2), Aiseolas (6/1), Overcoming (6/1), High Street Lady (10/1), Swiss Cottage (16/1), Leaderboard (33/1), Our Legend (33/1)

Verdict

AISEOLAS was an impressive maiden winner at Gowran Park two starts back and may well have found a mile too sharp since at Killarney. Jim Bolger's filly can defy the handicapper by winning first time out in this sphere with the longer trip to suit. Downdraft is also worth a close look on handicap bow while For Pleasure is thriving and cannot be ruled out despite going up the ratings rapidly. Swiss Cottage and Our Legend are further potential improvers.
