Forecasts

St Lawrence Gap (3/1), Tommy Welsh (5/1), He's Our Man (5/1), Magna Cartor (11/2), Talsara (6/1), Cardinal Palace (12/1), Wrap Star (16/1), Face Value (20/1), Spinning Pearl (20/1), Whatever It Takes (25/1), Alamgiyr (33/1)

Verdict

St Lawrence Gap comes here on the back of a career best in scoring at Leopardstown last time out, the extra distance will be of no concern but a 4lb hike and conceding weight in all directions might just tell on him. Former C&D winner He's Our Man has gone well enough in two runs for current connections to merit a place on the shortlist while handicap debutant Magna Cartor and Tommy Welsh are also worth noting. The vote though is handed to TALSARA, who could scarcely have gone closer in previous Flat run at Clonmel in similar conditions and has since scored over timber. With Killian Leonard's claims to help, he's got a decent chance of a winning return to the Flat scene.
  1. Talsara
  2. St Lawrence Gap
  3. He's Our Man
