Forecasts

Golden Twilight (5/1), Higher Kingdom (5/1), Ceallach (11/2), Save Your Love (11/2), Londoner (6/1), Matt Connor (15/2), Longbourn (10/1), Shigar (11/1), Burren Song (16/1), Pierre Lapin (16/1), San Andreas (18/1), Overheer (18/1), Nurburgring (18/1), Dutch Gold (20/1), Jungle Cove (40/1), March Law (40/1)

The suggestion is GOLDEN TWILIGHT who has been successful on his last 4 visits here and arrives on the back of a good third at the Curragh last month. John McConnell's Higher Kingdom is another with a good record here and is second choice ahead of last month's Leopardstown scorer Save Your Love.
