Forecasts

Emily Square (4/1), Lizard Point (13/2), Fly Round The Bend (8/1), Ringo Kid (8/1), Rubenesque (8/1), Ben Rumson (9/1), Demi Plie (10/1), Universal Focus (11/1), Carta Blanca (11/1), Carvelas (12/1), Glib Speech (14/1), Buddha's Secret (14/1), U S Navy Seal (14/1), Forcefull (16/1), Kalann (16/1), Crown Pleasure (20/1), Whistling Straits (20/1), Free State (20/1), Shake The Bucket (25/1), Mister Buddy (33/1), Invincible Don (33/1)

Verdict

LIZARD POINT has been running well of late most recently when third at Gowran Park and he can register his first success by taking the concluding handicap. The selection has finished in the frame the last twice and can get the better of Emily Square who was narrowly beaten at Leopardstown last time out while Rubensque another running well of late can take third.
  1. Lizard Point
  2. Emily Square
  3. Rubenesque
