Forecasts

Embittered (15/8), Big Debates (5/1), Kitty Galore (11/2), Espion Du Chenet (6/1), Alko Rouge (6/1), Stand Off (15/2), The Dara Man (17/2), Kildorrery (9/1), Cusp Of Carabelli (20/1)

EMBITTERED shaped as if back in good form when third at Punchestown in May and might well have won but for a bad mistake 2 out, so he is taken to return to winning ways after being tried at 3m on his latest outing. Espion du Chenet stepped up on his recent run last time and could be the main danger, while The Dara Man is capable if on a 'going' day.
