Forecasts

Is That Love (3/1), Celtic Manor (3/1), Galtee Mist (9/2), Anna Strada (8/1), The King Of Kells (17/2), Mudawy (9/1), Ramiro (10/1), Woodrow (10/1), Godhead (11/1), Half Nutz (11/1), Arcanears (11/1), Mogwli (12/1), Fastman (14/1), Improving (14/1), Indian Raj (100/1)

IS THAT LOVE arrives here on the crest of a wave having completed the hat-trick under a penalty at Roscommon on Monday. The drop back to this trip will be no bad thing and while his new mark has now kicked in, further success could be on the cards. Anna Strada went close in a big-field Navan maiden last month and is feared most ahead of The King of Kells and Naas winner Half Nutz.
