Forecasts

Mister Wilson (11/4), Dairerin (3/1), Ezine (9/2), Smooth Tom (13/2), Sir Antonino (8/1), Joe Masseria (8/1), Manbehindthemoney (14/1), Allihies (16/1), Inchiquin Star (18/1), Mudamer (20/1), Believe In Science (28/1), Twins For Joy (33/1)

A few with chances but MISTER WILSON can race off the same mark as when an excellent second at Roscommon, so Gavin Cromwell's 3-y-o gets the nod at the chief expense of Joe Masseria now the cheekpieces go back on. Monday's winner Dairerin must be respected under a penalty.
