2:30 - A decent race to start the day off and one with two stand out horses. Leitrim House who finished 4th in the Irish and judging by Azamour's performance yesterday, he is poised to run very well today. Folkine is the other fancy after a sting of decent performances. I feel that his win at Newmarket wasn't the greatest though and Leitrim House could have the beating of him today.

Selection - Leitrim House (win)
- Leitrim House/Folkine (R forecast)

3:05 - Classy field here but unless Beneventa can peg back Crimson Palace, I can't see anything but a Godolphin win. Gonfilla might feature aswell to make it a Godolphin double.

Selection - Crimson Palace (win)


3:45 - The big race and again I can see it being run between a few in the field. Rakti was last years runner up and knows the course well, but he could be challenged by Bandari who has been on excellent form of late and has run here
before. Powerscourt should go well but I feel he's a little behind the other two and will do well to win this one.

Selection - Bandari (win)
- Rakti/Bandari (R forecast)


4:20 - With such a big field it would take me hours to write up all the horses who had chances. Autumn Glory does look a strong favourite but there's plenty of value down the field. Court Masterpiece is fine value although he's struggled so far this season, Lago D'orta and Impeller are both decent each way bets as well.

Selection - Autumn Glory (win)
- Court Masterpiece (place)
- Lago D'Orta (place)
- Impeller (place)

4:55 - Lots of winning form and obviously anyone could throw up a suprise in this sort of race. Polly Perkins gets the nod for the win and the lay of the race and possibly the day must be the favourite Gloved Hand, there are far better horses in the field. Littmoden to carry on from where he left off yesterday

Selection - Polly Perkins (win) NAP

5:30 - Poor race, no real stand out horse in it and i'm inclined to go with one each way selection in Capestar. Improving sort and in this sort of field, should step up well.

Selection - Capestar (place)
