Forecasts

Perfect Judgement (3/1), Cardinal Zin (3/1), Megarry (13/2), Sweet Delta Dawn (8/1), Liamo (8/1), Vestigia (17/2), Grand City Hall (10/1), Avatar Jet (10/1), Transcending Glory (10/1), Bergamasco (12/1), Rhythm And Moves (16/1), Ocean Bliss (20/1), Punta Coco (40/1), Ylva (40/1), Barley Cove (50/1), Dundrum (66/1), Bitcoin Profit (66/1), Auburn Avenue (100/1), Photosynthesis (100/1), Aisling Oscar (100/1), Fivecromwellplace (100/1), Minton (100/1), Royal Pass (150/1), Call Me Culann (150/1), Grand Citadel (150/1)

GRAND CITY HALL caught the eye in what was probably a decent maiden at Naas so could be the answer. Megarry should be suited by the drop back in trip given how he shaped at Galway so is another to consider, while Perfect Judgement showed plenty to work on when second to a well-touted Ballydoyle newcomer at Naas.
