Forecasts

Bright Stripes (4/9), Byzantine Empress (13/2), Ocean Odyssey (8/1), Going Remote (10/1), Special Angel (10/1), Take Me To Church (16/1), Solomon Coop (16/1), Ballyrichard (16/1), Shes Scintillating (22/1), Gesture (28/1), Blue Balle (28/1), Aratayvo (33/1), Goal Exceeded (33/1), Edvard Grieg (40/1), Suilleabhain (80/1), Surpass And Shine (125/1)

Verdict

While several of these are open to improvement, BRIGHT STRIPES nevertheless stands out on the back his fine effort in a valuable 6f sales race here last month. This step up in trip will be in his favour and he will surely prove hard to beat. Take Me To Church and Ocean Odyssey, both of whom shaped well on their respective debuts at Cork and Leopardstown, are feared most in that order of preference, while Special Angel may also build on the promise she showed at Dundalk.

  1. BRIGHT STRIPES (IRE)
