Forecasts

Havana Go (6/4), Editorial (3/1), Irish Minister (7/1), Zarena (7/1), Noble Kingsway (9/1), Feisty Katerina (16/1), Knuckles Mcginty (16/1), Tagle (33/1), Gizi Gazelle (66/1), Rocky Blue (66/1), Tempestua (66/1), Whatamitoyoupaul (66/1)

Havana Go will have plenty of supporters following on from his two career starts at Leopardstown and his third last time out over C&D but may have ZARENA in his way with the filly an interesting newcomer. Irish Minister and Noble Kingsway can fight it out to land the final place.
