Forecasts

Fangio De Vassy (4/5), Mahons Glory (3/1), Mrs Underwood (8/1), Majavango (17/2), Broomfields Kan (12/1), New Society (14/1), Daicheadacuig (14/1), Big Fellow (33/1), Coothill (33/1), Look Dont Touch (50/1), Journey West (50/1), Eat The Book (66/1), Pour Pavore (66/1), Looks Like Fame (66/1), Nostra Casa (66/1), Cross Court (66/1), Do What You Must (80/1), Ballykilmurray (200/1), Queen Emily (250/1)

FANGIO DE VASSY looked a hurdler of some promise when fifth on his debut at Leopardstown and is easily forgiven his latest effort at Gowran when unable to handle the very testing conditions. He's taken to get back on track at the chief expense of the once-raced Majavango and fair Flat performer New Society.
