Forecasts

Carrigans Grove (5/2), Nezeeh (7/2), Irish Rumour (15/2), Annie Lavinia (8/1), American In Paris (9/1), Von Krolock (10/1), Send Harry (12/1), Nammos (12/1), Cu Chulainn (16/1), Hero Of The Hour (18/1), Hell Left Loose (25/1), Bluebelardo (25/1), Devil's Angel (33/1), Jered Maddox (33/1)

Competitive stuff and preference is for NEZEEH, who has returned to form the last twice and he again shaped as though the return to this trip would be in his favour when fourth at Tipperary last time. American In Paris will be a danger to all if able to shrug off his below effort at Cork, while the consistent Carrigans Grove and Irish Rumour are others to consider.
