Forecasts

Lunar Power (9/2), Five Helmets (9/2), Razdan (11/2), Moon Daisy (13/2), Buckman Tavern (7/1), Insane Bolt (8/1), La Hacienda (8/1), Powersbomb (10/1), Ballinlough Gale (11/1), Final Endeavour (12/1), We'll Go Again (12/1), Bridge Native (12/1), Wild Shot (16/1), Legal Spin (16/1), Born To Rule (22/1), Vita Veritas (33/1), Nathaniel's Dream (50/1), Allora Yeats (50/1), Park Row (66/1)

The step back up in trip should suit BUCKMAN TAVERN so he might be able to overcome a 3lb rise for last month's Leopardstown success. Moon Daisy was only narrowly behind the selection at Leopardstown and should go well if the blinkers work again. Bridge Native, who ran well over fences here earlier in the week, and Legal Spin are also on the shortlist.
