Forecasts

Brianna Lily (9/4), Storm Mahler (3/1), Castle Field Boy (5/1), The Little Yank (11/2), Whatsavailable (13/2), Street Value (12/1), Robinstown (14/1)

Verdict

CASTLE FIELD BOY maintained his theme of gradual race-by-race progress when landing a big-field Tipperary maiden last month, and he is likely to prove a tough nut to crack. The Little Yank and Brianna Lily are feared most in that order of preference, while last year's winner Robinstown would be a threat if returning to something close to his best.
