Forecasts

Earls (9/4), Rick Dalton (16/5), That's Just Dandy (6/1), Imposing Supreme (7/1), Allihies (8/1), Drombeg Duke (10/1), Is That Love (14/1), Mazagran (14/1), Mulgrave (14/1), Nebo (20/1), Dragon Of Malta (22/1), Monzoon (25/1), Missing Matron (25/1), Prince Of Abington (50/1), Golden Warrior (66/1)

ALLIHIES is a 3-y-o with fewer convictions than a lot of these and might be worth siding with to build on a decent run at Galway last month. Rick Dalton rates a threat for the Ger Lyton/Colin Keane pairing. Earls is another to consider, while That's Just Dandy would also enter the reckoning if showing up after the Curragh.
