Forecast Prices: Golddream 8/1, God Of Power 4/1, Shaftesbury Avenue 11/2, Krasimir 5/1, Sir Benji 11/2, Red Autumn 6/1, Halon Bay 8/1, Glitter And Glory 10/1, Johnny Soda 12/1
oddschecker Verdict
GOD OF POWER was a winner at Limerick in April and finished second in a similar race at Listowel last time. While he has to concede weight all round, he seems dependable. Sir Benji scored on debut and, although only third of five at Roscommon subsequently, that was a strong race and it is interesting that he now drops in trip. Shaftesbury Avenue might step up for sporting blinkers, while Krasimir boasts useful form in maidens.
Prediction: 1st God Of Power, 2nd Sir Benji, 3rd Shaftesbury Avenue
