Forecasts

Tennessee Titan (5/4), Only One Plan (11/2), Prince Of Air (15/2), Bite That (11/1), Gigantamax Eevee (11/1), Depeche Mo (14/1), Beat Of The Sea (14/1), Doyen For A Drink (16/1), Corkbeg (18/1), Quornofamonday (20/1), Miss Us O (25/1), Poker Night (33/1), Oskar High (33/1), O Faolains Lass (33/1), Iridescent (50/1)

TENNESSEE TITAN ran well enough when third in a big field at Cork last time to think he has a race in him from this sort of mark. Only One Plan is respected on the back of a good second at Naas last time, while Doyen For A Drink and Gigantamax Eevee rate potential improvers now moving into handicap company.
