Forecasts

Secret Wizard (15/8), Tuff Love (7/2), Druids Cross (11/2), Ruler Of France (6/1), Cenotaph (13/2), Ishebayorgrey (7/1), St Gallen (8/1), Markhan (8/1), Dinkum Diamond (12/1)

Last year's winner Ruler Of France would be an interesting contender though he was due to line-up here on Monday so must rate a doubt to take part. Druids Cross drops in trip and should find this much less taxing than some of tasks so far this season, he could go close. Cenotaph improved for the longer trip at the Curragh and this extra furlong should be no issue but TUFF LOVE could be answer. He ran well in both starts at Dundalk earlier this year, winning a maiden, and now comes out for his first turf start for a trainer that has his string in terrific form.
