Forecast Prices: Harpy Eagle 5/1, Midnight Eagle 8/1, Drombane 11/2, In The Minus 9/2, Crystabel 8/1, Coolboy Christy 16/1, Ladiam 12/1, Bossy Bird 10/1, Dream Shaper 10/1, Tangara Bay 14/1, In For The Night 4/1
An impressive scorer on just his second start for the stable at Kilbeggan, IN FOR THE NIGHT can follow up. Travelling strongly on that occasion, the Conor O'Dwyer-trained gelding quickened up smartly to win easily. Although the handicapper has had his say subsequently, the eight-year-old may just be ahead of him at present. Dream Shaper made all to win on his penultimate start and was far from disgraced at Galway subsequently. The Iggy Madden-trained gelding should be much more at home around this tighter track. Drombane failed to fire at Galway but, on his previous form, the Willie Mullins-trained gelding has every chance in this company.
Prediction: 1st In For The Night, 2nd Dream Shaper, 3rd Drombane
