Forecasts

Dewcup (9/4), Fil The Power (10/3), Meishar (7/2), Ballinlough Gale (9/2), Parisienne Ways (9/1), Il Pescatore (11/1), Sionnach Eile (20/1), Shedini (20/1), Boola Boola (28/1), Mig Des Taillons (28/1), Euroclydon (33/1), The Alpha Man (80/1), Weather Alert (100/1), Must B Art (100/1), Nusra (100/1), Zach Attack (100/1), Allure Of Light (100/1), Perry Square (300/1), Elite Oak (300/1), Maureen's Quest (300/1)

The vote goes to MEISHAR, who found just one too good on debut in a big-field maiden at the Curragh and hit top gear too late when going close over a mile at Dundalk last week. This step up in trip should be in his favour. Dewcup has done well over hurdles since finishing runner-up in a couple of maidens in this sphere in 2020 and he is feared most ahead of Sionnach Eile and Parisienne Ways.
