Forecasts

Luimneach (3/1), Brilliant Light (3/1), Morepowertoya (11/2), Slip Jig (11/1), Mag Dillane (14/1), Hutton Glen (14/1), Lilian Bland (14/1), Junior Bee (14/1), Falak (20/1), Mattie's Mountain (20/1), Voice Of Reason (22/1), Vilja Song (22/1), Petit Dejeuner (28/1), Redcliff Glen (40/1), Silin Alainn (40/1), Unklipped (50/1), My Kurkum (80/1), Wardens Whisper (80/1)

Having returned to form when fourth at Gowran recently, MOREPOWERTOY could be the answer. Luimneach went close on his second start since returning from well over a year off at Sligo and he is feared most ahead of Brilliant Light, who is unexposed in this sphere and was a good third at Listowel last time. Lilian Bland will have an each-way chance if she puts her best foot forward.
