Forecasts

Lecale's Diamond (15/8), Snow Punt (9/2), Rowdy (11/2), Live To Laugh (13/2), Mount Shenshan (8/1), Kellys Corner (9/1), Coillte M C G (11/1), Way Down South (12/1), Walk Away Harry (33/1), Donnrua Dream (50/1), Mistyburn (100/1), Park Rules (125/1)

Not a strong race so LECALE'S DIAMOND, who left his lowly hurdles form trailing in his wake when third at Tramore a month ago, selected to build on that. Mount Shenshan and Snow Punt also have something to recommend them.
