Race preview
FORRARD AWAY handles testing ground well and scored over this trip at Wexford on St Patrick's Day. The Califet gelding was given a summer break and should be spot on for this following a couple of outings. He was only headed on the run-in when a close-up third to the progressive Mattie's Mountain at Fairyhouse earlier this month and remains on a competitive mark. Any market move for Temptationinmilan would be very interesting. The Charles Byrnes-trained gelding is a half-brother to five winners and, while bred to appreciate at least another half a mile, has shown glimpses of ability in maidens. Moonlight Glory is an obvious danger having completed a double on the day for her trainer when successful over course and distance last month.
