Forecast Prices: Sekakarma 4/1, Gortmore Lady 16/1, Hobs Angel /, Mother Ship 16/1, Love Like This 8/1, Max Time 20/1, Wild Mandate 14/1, Georginas Jet 13/2, Beacon Bypass 25/1, El Arco 8/1, Ranting And Raven 16/1, Glaoinn An Airgead 33/1, Firstupbestdressed /, Move It On Over 25/1, Laska Du Breuil 9/2, Phoenix Arizona 5/1, Katies Casper 16/1, Clever Court /
Placed on both starts at this track since joining present connections, PHOENIX ARIZONA can make the breakthrough. Despite being an 11-race maiden, the Soldier Of Fortune gelding has reached the frame on four occasions, often hinting that he has more to offer. Stepping back up in trip could finally enable the John Cullen-trained gelding to get his head in front. A winner at Limerick when last seen, Laska Du Breuil has to be respected. Despite being off the track since May, the Gavin Cromwell-trained five-year-old is sure to be fit and ready coming from those quarters. Beaten less than a length at Wexford last time, the Mark Roper-trained Sekakarma also boasts claims in a competitive affair.
Prediction: 1st Phoenix Arizona, 2nd Laska Du Breuil, 3rd Sekakarma
