Forecasts

Tyrconnell (3/1), Tipperary Moon (3/1), Cappella Liath (9/2), Regal Eagle (15/2), Never Rains (9/1), Iseebreeze (12/1), Briseuse De Coeur (12/1), Tribal Path (12/1), St George's Head (12/1), Forza Libranno (12/1), Talk Now (16/1), Camogue Wood (20/1), Nakakande (40/1), Very Smart (50/1), Nouhime (50/1), Friday Fizz (66/1), Alterno (125/1)

TYRCONNELL has a consistent record at this track and drops into a weaker handicap after a respectable run at Leopardstown, so he gets the nod with Gavin Ryan taking a useful 3 lb off. Tipperary Moon has improved the last type and appeals as an obvious danger, with Never Rains also worth considering.
