Forecasts

Best Law (5/2), Empress Alma (11/2), Simple Endeavour (6/1), Dream Ticket (13/2), Tyder (13/2), Fine Print (7/1), Dancing Steve (14/1), Tiffany Mae (14/1), Bhean Saibhre (18/1), Billie Frechette (25/1), Sprinkles (25/1), Maxwell Smart (25/1), Time Out (33/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. Adrian McGuinness has his string in good nick so his DANCING STEVE is taken to build on his excellent recent Down Royal third and gain his breakthrough victory. Tyder heads the list of dangers on the back of a good Leopardstown second, although the likes of Fine Print, Best Law and Dream Ticket can all have a say too in this highly competitive handicap.
