Forecasts

The Little Yank (3/1), Without Exception (4/1), Likable Chancer (5/1), Cahirdown Boy (6/1), Dancing After Dark (8/1), Aleish Lass (10/1), Grace Faraday (10/1), He Fitz In (16/1), Cordal Boy (16/1), Walkmethroughit (20/1), Survivors Sister (25/1), Lispopple (25/1), Kofino (33/1), Diamond Island (33/1)

Verdict

CAHIRDOWN BOY rather threw the race away at Cork earlier this month but is favourably treated back over hurdles and can gain compensation. The Little Yank and Without Exception should also go well.
