Forecasts

Crafty Gael (85/40), Silverstrand (5/1), Woodstream Lad (6/1), Sandyman (13/2), Gwan Tadhg (7/1), West Of Carrig (8/1), Redwood Queen (10/1), Fassbender (11/1), Lariat (11/1), Lesssaidthebetter (12/1), Mullins Cross (14/1), Self Assessed (16/1), Up And Out (16/1), Depeche Mo (16/1), Finches Cross (20/1), Monoxide (25/1), Copia Verborum (28/1), Moneynabane (66/1)

Verdict

Lots with chances. SILVERSTRAND is knocking on the door so is taken to gain an overdue first victory off just a 1 lb higher mark than when a good recent Kilbeggan second. Woodstream Lad rates a big threat though on the back of his Sligo third in first-time blinkers, with the returning Gwan Tadhg weighted to have a say if fully tuned up.

  1. SILVERSTRAND (IRE)
  2. WOODSTREAM LAD (IRE)
  3. GWAN TADHG (IRE)
