Forecasts

Money Heist (4/7), Appian Way (4/1), L'or Des Roses (5/1), Reddys Island (6/1), Western Dreaming (11/1), Chief Black Robe (16/1), Helly Hansum (40/1), Howsthewoman (40/1), Athagabhain (66/1), Guest (125/1)

MONEY HEIST got on top in the shadow of the post over 19f at Galway on Tuesday and, if turned out again quickly, he will take plenty of stopping under a penalty given that moving back up in trip here will be very much in his favour. Fellow last-time-out winner Appian Way looks set for another leading role and he is second choice ahead of lightly-raced handicap debutant L'or Des Roses.
