Forecasts

Inside Intel (4/1), Alaiya (5/1), Slieve Bearnagh (11/2), Time And Money (6/1), Na Caith Tobac (13/2), Emerald Green (7/1), Scherbatsky (15/2), Kristall Eye (9/1), Dazzling Darren (11/1), Lizzies Song (11/1), Easca Peasca (12/1), Excuzio Joe (14/1), Adamaris (14/1), Jazzelle (22/1), Du Maurier (28/1), Miss Oria (66/1), Motsi (150/1)

Preference is for TIME AND MONEY, who duly improved when going close on his recent handicap bow at Dundalk and stepping back up to this trip will be in his favour. Slieve Bearnagh was a shade below-par last time but he's generally consistent and will offer stern resistance. Cases can also be made for the likes of Inside Intel, Kristall Eye and handicap debutante Alaiya.
