Forecasts

Sovereign (8/15), Tinandali (2/1), Excelcius (5/2), Elite Trooper Grey (6/1), Ben Alexander (66/1), Dirk Diggler (100/1)

TINANDALI can improve and develop from his promising sixth of 13 beaten a little over 6L on debut at the Curragh earlier this month, a race that has seen seventh place Japan win at Listowel last week. The Ger Lyons-trained Excelcius, second at Killarney last month and Aidan O'Briens Sovereign can battle it out for the minor honours.
