Forecasts

Mt Leinster (4/6), Wonder Laish (6/4), Western Victory (5/1), Grandmaster Flash (13/2), Tully East (7/1), Is She Diesel (22/1), Humaniste (25/1), Grand D'espagne (25/1), Sideshow Bob (100/1), King's Song (150/1)

MT LEINSTER overcame a very tardy start to land a maiden on Flat debut 2 starts back and, having not been seen to best effect in the Galway Hurdle subsequently, he is fancied to go well back on the level with improvement anticipated. Wonder Laish and Grandmaster Flash are also fancied to be in the mix.
