Forecasts
Southern France (5/2), Master Of Reality (3/1), Capri (7/2), Downdraft (11/2), Eminent Authority (6/1), Cimeara (14/1)
The question here is whether Master Of Reality, who left his previous form behind when beaten a length by Stradivarius in the Gold Cup, is going to be as effective dropped back in trip tonight. He has won over this trip, that being at Navan in April, but that form was well below what he showed last time, and he might be vulnerable. A back-to-form Capri would represent a huge threat but there's signs that he's not the horse he was, and has a little to prove now. Southern France has a big race in him somewhere and it could be here, but the fast improving EMINENT AUTHORITY gets plenty of weight and in what might be testing ground, can make that count.
