Forecasts

Dark Note (11/4), Elle Dorado Rock (3/1), Fianna (6/1), Quiz Test (13/2), Dumb Love (7/1), Ifitwasme (11/1), Empress Alma (11/1), Chatterbox (12/1), Make Good (12/1), Autumn Twist (12/1), Inchiquin Star (14/1), Say It So (16/1), Scott Lang (16/1), Allo Al Khawaneej (22/1), The Dubliner (40/1), Saga Des Aigles (50/1)

ALLO AL KHAWANEEJ showed signs of ability in a handful of appearances on the level for Owen Burrows and is interesting back in this sphere having scored over hurdles in April. The 5-y-o is an appealing alternative to likely favourite Elle Dorado Rock, who did the job well at Navan last time and an 8 lb rise does not look prohibitive. Dark Note, Dumb Love and recent Gowran scorer Inchiquin Star are all live each-way contenders.
