Forecasts

Pure Circle (13/8), Malacanne (9/2), Reigles (5/1), Duke Of Leggagh (13/2), Miss Langmore (9/1), Master Garvey (12/1), Ulaffinatmeboy (14/1), Calamint (20/1), The Fog Horn (40/1)

REIGLES showed more than previously when fourth in a nursery that looks reasonable form for the grade at Down Royal 4 weeks ago and, having been eased 1 lb subsequently, she could well be up to building on the promise of that run. Pure Circle fared a little better than previously on her qualifying run at Punchestown and is open to improvement now handicapping. Duke of Leggagh completes the shortlist.
