Forecasts

Espion Du Chenet (10/3), Kilkeaskins First (9/2), A Different World (5/1), Damut (11/2), Encore Lui (13/2), Rock On Barney (11/1), Flamingo's Court (12/1), Tomeric (14/1), American Image (20/1), Grey Atlantic Way (20/1), Tongie (22/1), Carnet De Stage (28/1), Cluan Dara (40/1), Backintheboom (50/1), Pateen (80/1), Brex Drago (100/1)

ROCK ON BARNEY disappointed at Wetherby last time but he'd won 3 of his 4 starts prior to that and is the type to bounce back quickly. Espion du Chenet was well backed to follow up his Naas success at Thurles but got no further than the first. He's worth another chance so rates the main threat ahead of Damut.
