Forecasts

Deluca Chop (3/1), Without Love (4/1), She's Ideal (9/2), God Of Thunder (5/1), Magna Gee Gee (11/2), Metamorpheus (6/1), Grey Fable (10/1), Lady Luck (12/1), Eye Contact (12/1), Hosanna Power (14/1), Cuckaloo Hill (16/1), Ravens Can Fly (18/1), Young Churchill (22/1), Faerie Tales (66/1)

DELUCA CHOP had a bit up his sleeve when going in at Down Royal last time and can defy a 6 lb rise in the weights to land a hat-trick. Without Love is feared most on the back of a good second at Bellewstown, although Magna Gee Gee is also weighted to have a big say. Metamorpheus completes the shortlist.
