Forecasts

Sayo (6/5), Red Gerry (5/1), Merroir (7/1), Hook Head (17/2), Place Des Vosges (12/1), Walking On Glass (14/1), Mountain Fox (14/1), Dinard Rose (18/1), Djasek (22/1), Anyonecanhaveitall (25/1), Well Funded (33/1), Hazran (40/1), Take A Turn (50/1), Happy Company (50/1), Great Trango (80/1), Longclaw (80/1), Shamad (100/1)

A good race but SAYO could be thrown in on his jumps form (was fourth in the Coral Cup in March) and is hard to get away from on his first crack over this sort of trip on the level. Red Gerry and Dinard Rose are a couple of other jumpers returning to the Flat on fair marks, while Hook Head can kick on having opened his account for Jim Bolger at Navan recently.
