Forecasts

Bowman (7/2), Thrifty Of Digby (5/1), Rockbury Lad (6/1), Chavajod (6/1), Rampage (7/1), Withoutfurtherado (7/1), De Boode (7/1), Edergole's Angel (10/1), Ohmali (10/1), Loingseoir (10/1), Darkdeserthighway (12/1), Deuteronomy (16/1), Summer Island (18/1), Dragon Of Malta (20/1), Lady Christa (20/1), Virgil Tibbs (22/1), Trishuli River (25/1), Smooth (33/1), Wrist Art (50/1)

The vote goes to LOINGSEOIR, who is currently 1 lb below his last winning mark and, not for the first time this season, he wasn't seen to best effect when fifth in a 10-runner Navan handicap last week. Rampage put in a decent shift when third at Leopardstown on his latest start and a reproduction of that would give him a fighting chance. Bowman, Chavajod and top-weight Thrifty of Digby are others with possibilities in an open-looking race.
