66/1

Sir Percy gelding out of an Invincible Spirit mare. Failed to build on encouraging run at Dundalk on the AW in February when finishing 15th of 17 beaten 27L at Navan on turf debut last month. Others look more convincing.

50/1

Lethal Force colt. Half-brother to multiple winners over variety of trips. In rear throughout on debut when never a factor finishing tailed off at Leopardstown in October. Worth a check in the market on return to action.

Forecasts

Elite Trooper Grey (6/4), Kastasa (3/1), Bar Room Bore (5/1), Red Sole Diva (6/1), Very Excellent (14/1), Van Meegeren (20/1), Turf Range (33/1), St Estephe (50/1), Charlie Bit Me (50/1), Able Dealer (66/1), Masque Of Anarchy (66/1), Deep House (80/1), Born Fighting (100/1), Silver The Fixer (100/1), Whiskey Treat (100/1)

The Rock Of Gibraltar filly, Kastasa could make a go of this from the front, improving on her fourth of 14 at Thurles when last seen in October. There is a danger she could set the race up for the consistent colt ELITE TROOPER GREY who finished a promising second of 12 on seasonal debut earlier this month. The 73-rated Fast Company three-year-old can see off the attentions of Bar Room Bore and Red Sole Diva.
