RACE 1 PREDICTOR The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

PREDICTION: ALADDIN’S CAVE RACE VERDICT Runner-up over 7f here to a rival who has since been group-placed, CITY OF GOLD appears to be the Ballydoyle first-string, so is chosen to score, with blinkers on instead of cheekpieces. He looks to have most to fear from his stablemate Noble Exhibit, who ran a fine race on debut at the Curragh. [Tyrone Molloy] Source: Racing Post

PREDICTION: EDDIE G RACE VERDICT On recent form, Lady Arwen, Java Wood and Eddie G have obvious claims, but it may pay to side with LORD MASSUSUS, who has done most of his racing at a much higher level than this. Clear Quartz is noteworthy on account of a good record at this venue. Never Loose is relatively unexposed. [Alan Sweetman] Source: Racing Post

PREDICTION: SUIR MONAD RACE VERDICT Plenty have chances but a chance is taken on NAZARIO getting off the mark, stepping back up in trip today. The handicap debutants Suir Monad and Purely have to be considered, while Tharaka and Shay’s Dream are likely better than they showed last time. Felix Somary, Down The Glen and Cladach can run well.

RACE 4 PREDICTOR The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

PREDICTION: LUNAR EMPRESS RACE VERDICT The key formline looks to be the Naas maiden in which Lunar Empress finished just in front of Autumn Grey and CHURCHILL BOND. However, the latter pair endured traffic problems on that occasion and can reverse the form, with preference for the last-named, who is nicely-drawn today. [Tyrone Molloy] Source: Racing Post

RACE 5 PREDICTOR The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

PREDICTION: SAN AER RACE VERDICT Suited by soft ground, MERISI DIAMOND can improve enough from his Roscommon run last time back from a break to take this. San Aer is a dual course winner who twice ran well at the festival here this year and looks the main danger. Racing Royalty has twice been placed over C&D so is third choice.

RACE 7 PREDICTOR The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

PREDICTION: PARTY DRESS RACE VERDICT An improved display over a shorter trip here at the festival gives BELLE NUIT fair prospects of a breakthrough win. There is plenty of stamina on her dam’s side, and she is slightly preferred to Party Dress, who stays further than this. Sylkie is noteworthy as a three-time course winner. Shambata is a lightly raced filly who may improve. Canon Law could go well despite being 4lb wrong. [Alan Sweetman] Source: Racing Post

PREDICTION: LOOSEN AND LIMBER RACE VERDICT Paddy Twomey’s runner PORTERS CORNER can go one better than when losing narrowly in a C&D maiden at the festival, Pleased, who was a long way below her best in that race, rates a threat on the balance of form, along with I Hope You Dance. The Galway Hurdle runner-up Thisistheway looks capable of holding her own against younger rivals. [Alan Sweetman] Source: Racing Post
