Forecasts

Ta Na La (5/2), Cheers Again (5/2), Yokkell (4/1), Miss Vizeun (7/1), Linger For Longer (9/1), Easky Maid (16/1), Deuteronomy (16/1), Not Just Any Eagle (25/1), Shaky Operator (25/1), Vidala (28/1), Dahomey (33/1)

LINGER FOR LONGER came well clear of the others with a subsequent winner when runner-up at Tipperary last time and, despite going up 5 lb, she makes most appeal in this thin race. Ta Na La looks the obvious danger and Miss Vizeun shouldn't be ruled out with few miles on the clock.
