16/1

Forecasts

Lough Leane (10/11), Prince Ali (2/1), Cobh Harbour (10/1), Reverberation (11/1), Strictly Dreaming (12/1), Plumette (14/1), Strategic Fortune (16/1), Ower Starlight (80/1)

LOUGH LEANE appeared to have a bit left up his sleeve at Newcastle last week and a 5 lb penalty is unlikely to be enough to prevent him from completing the four-timer. Prince Ali has posted solid efforts in defeat the last twice and is second choice ahead of Reverberation.
