Forecasts

Sea Eagle (16/5), Orandi (4/1), Titanium (9/2), Gerrit's Gem (6/1), Monasterboice (7/1), Alessia Fernanda (15/2), Global Energy (8/1), All Lies Ahead (40/1)

ORANDI is 3 lb better off with Global Energy for a ¾ length defeat at Listowel and that might be enough for him to turn the tables on Sheila Lavery's charge. Alessia Fernanda and Monasterboice are others likely to have a say in a competitive race.
