Forecasts

The Bandit (13/8), Musta Lovea Lovea (3/1), Ruleout (11/2), Cool Rain (6/1), Devil's Cut (9/1), Largy Gift (9/1), Winnie Woodnutt (16/1), Cousin Zeleznik (16/1), Godfatherofharlem (18/1), Sula Warrior (22/1), Tadhg R Liam (25/1), Keep On Running (40/1), Lough Manor (50/1), Queen Kulina (66/1), Ballymagee (100/1)

THE BANDIT failed to meet expectations in the mud at Thurles on his debut back in February but is clearly well regarded and could prove a different proposition now. The main threat may come from newcomer Devil's Cut. Cool Rain may prove best of the rest.
