Forecasts

Verdant Place (4/1), Whateys Quest (9/2), Rusheen (5/1), Low Style (6/1), Wine An Dine (15/2), Gringo D'aubrelle (8/1), Prince Palace (17/2), Silver King (17/2), Salmanino (17/2), Clonmeen (16/1), Weihnachts (25/1), Harvey's Quay (33/1), Malton Groove (33/1), Street Value (40/1)

LOW STYLE showed more than previously in this sphere upped in trip when third at Punchestown 4 weeks ago and could be one to keep an eye on back in handicap company. Salmanino and Verdant Place head the dangers.
