Forecasts

Burru (4/1), Moyvilla Lass (6/1), Glendars Mahler (13/2), Noble Hilltop (7/1), Sammy Smart (8/1), Sharetheknowledge (8/1), Ixigreczed (10/1), Figurehead (11/1), That's About Right (12/1), Coffeys Forge (12/1), Francois (22/1), Benz (28/1), Garcon Doux (33/1), Fairytale New York (33/1), Loup De Tallane (33/1), Glentruan (40/1), Sullane Hill (50/1)

MOYVILLA LASS had plenty to spare at Killarney last month and might be able to defy a rise in the weights. Fellow last-time-out scorer Ixigreczed heads the dangers along with Sammy Smart. It also wouldn't be a surprise to see Glendaras Mahler leave last month's reappearance behind now stepping back up in trip.
