Forecasts

Bossofthebus (7/4), Person Of Interest (13/2), Pana To Milan (7/1), Beeverstown Place (8/1), Cramers Valley (9/1), Mount Shenshan (12/1), Chainofconsequence (12/1), Kadys Dirha (12/1), Ladyeze Man (12/1), Knockaneleigh Girl (12/1), Mellem (20/1), Hei (25/1), Jekiki (50/1)

PERSON OF INTEREST seemed stretched by just short of 3m at Punchestown last time and is given another chance to show his mark is workable. An 8 lb rise shouldn't prevent last month's course scorer Bossofthebus from making another bold bid. Cramers Valley shaped as if back in form when fourth at Gowran last time and is another who could play a prominent role.
