Forecasts

Braeside (1/1), Choungaya (2/1), Fakir (11/2), Knockmoylan (11/2), Madison To Monroe (10/1), Avellino (16/1), Desire De Joie (50/1), Keep The Peace (200/1), The Cool Dude (200/1), Diegos Way (250/1)

With Braeside engaged at Leopardstown on Sunday, MADISON MONROE is taken to go in at the fist time of asking over fences given he arrives in good nick and has shown fairly useful form over hurdles. Knockmoylan can build on his debut chasing fourth here so rates next best, with Choungaya appealing as the pick of the remainder.
