Forecasts

Monasterboice (11/8), Thequietman (6/4), Flying Bay (15/8), John Steinbeck (9/4), Old Sea (5/1), Convincing (5/1), Porsche Lad (150/1), Noble Andy (200/1), Alittlesetback (250/1)

THEQUIETMAN shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up in a well-run maiden at Leopardstown on his debut in April and has to be considered the one to beat with improvement on the cards, though strong market support for choicely-bred newcomer John Steinbeck would put a slightly different slant on matters. Monasterboice is fully exposed but should give another good account.
