Forecasts

Largy Hill (11/8), Harveys Point (11/8), Conyers Hill (7/1), Jimmy De Giant (14/1), Zapoy (18/1), Trackman Tommy (18/1), Silver Midnight (33/1), Alvaniy (50/1), Mount Gable (50/1)

LARGY HILL shaped as if amiss when a well-held fifth in a Cork bumper back in April but the strength behind him in the betting that day is well worth remembering and he could well get back on track for his powerful connections here. Harveys Point, who also represents a leading yard, can also figure on debut. Trackman Tommy makes appeal on paper and is also worth a precautionary market check.
