Forecasts

Monty's Way (4/1), Sionnach Eile (11/2), Baby Zeus (11/2), Pachmena (15/2), Port Sunlight (8/1), Phoenix Cowboy (8/1), Protagonist (9/1), Hell Bent (10/1), Rebellito (11/1), Cecelia Clementine (12/1), Camphor (14/1), Big Challenge (20/1), Yafordadoe (22/1), Dare To Flare (33/1), Timourid (33/1), Takeachancejimmy (100/1)

MONTY'S WAY is the least exposed of these and he brings potential to this handicap debut following his cosy breakthrough success in a Roscommon maiden last month. Joseph O'Brien's charge earns preference ahead of Phoenix Cowboy, who didn't get the rub of the green at Leopardstown recently and was progressive prior to that. Port Sunlight and Pachmena are others to consider.
