Forecasts

Beeverstown Place (7/2), Ladyeze Man (4/1), Volez Vous (9/2), Chemdawg (5/1), Only A Dollar (8/1), Fanoir (8/1), Splendid Choice (12/1), Silent Dawn (14/1), Kilcrea Castle (28/1), Esticky End (33/1), Surviving Murmansk (40/1), Hitthehayson (50/1), Connemara Shore (100/1)

If the tongue tie continues to have a positive effect last month's course scorer VOLEZ VOUS might be able to defy a rise in the weights. Ladyeze Man was better than the result here last time and is second choice ahead of Beeverstown Place in a contest where it's hard to make a compelling case for many.
