Forecasts

Scherzando (7/2), Treble Cone (11/2), Plum Perfect (6/1), Monzoon (13/2), Leabaland (10/1), Miss Cunning (10/1), Adamaris (11/1), Characteristic (11/1), Petticoat Rule (12/1), Jazzelle (16/1), Aussie Valentine (18/1), Dark Magic (22/1), Punk Poet (25/1), Siradjan (25/1), Gold Allure (40/1), Beleaguerment (50/1), Sayesse (50/1)

SCHERZANDO arrives at the top of his game so is taken to complete a quick hat-trick under a 6 lb penalty now he reverts back to 1m which should really suit. Monzoon heads the list of dangers on the back of his good recent second here, although Leopardstown winner Adamaris can also have a big say in an open handicap.
