Forecasts

Loingseoir (13/8), Harvest Bow (9/2), We'll Go Again (5/1), Illusory (5/1), Share The Honour (9/1), Ally Cay (10/1), Coventry (14/1), Final Endeavour (14/1), Alvaro (20/1), Lariat (25/1), Strip Light (28/1), Impossible (33/1), Elusive Gigolo (40/1), Double Martini (50/1), Inshallah Queen (66/1), How You Keeping (80/1)

LOINGSEOIR is bound to be hit hard when reassessed following his emphatic Fairyhouse success on Friday, so he really should go close here under a penalty, providing this race doesn't come too soon. Harvest Bow posted her best effort for a while when a close third on debut for this yard at Leopardstown, and she is second choice ahead of handicap debutant Elusive Gigolo and Illusory.
