Forecasts

Duke Of Leggagh (10/3), Givemehoperosa (5/1), Sixpack (6/1), Not Just Any Eagle (6/1), Annexation (13/2), Roderick (17/2), Still Rolling (10/1), Red Trail (14/1), Arch Enemy (14/1), Quantum Light (14/1), Jawhary (22/1), Bear Profit (22/1), Evolving (22/1), Desert Friend (25/1), Mulgrave (28/1), A Shin Undine (33/1), Young Lucy (33/1), Dazzling Spirit (50/1), Roman Harry (100/1), One Boss (100/1)

This looks wide open. Preference is for DUKE OF LEGGAGH, who posted his best effort for a while when third under Wesley Joyce at Leopardstown recently and, down another 1 lb, he has slipped to workable mark. Roderick also performed well in a Leopardstown handicap last time and he is feared most ahead of French import Evolving, Quantum Light and handicap debutante Still Rolling.
