Forecasts

Laurets D'estruval (30/100), Le Labo (5/2), A Piece Of Heaven (4/1), Bulgaden Castle (8/1), Maxfort (11/1), Jet To Monte Carlo (22/1), Premier Rogue (22/1), Playtime (28/1), Jerry From Kerry (28/1), Good Show (28/1), Mont St Michel (33/1), Jumbos Jet (33/1), Papanell (40/1), Mart Lane (50/1), Toor Beag (66/1), Charlie Brow'n (125/1), Northern Ruler (125/1), Convincing (150/1), Ocean Of Dreams (200/1), Barrowline (250/1), Navagio (250/1)

Verdict

LE LABO had matters under control at the point of his final-flight departure at Cork and he will prove a tough nut to crack if able to avoid any mishaps this time. French recruit Laurets d'Estruval made a bright start for present connections when second in a big-field Limerick maiden hurdle and he is an obvious danger, while Maxfort is third on the list ahead of Bulgaden Castle.

  1. LE LABO (IRE)
  2. LAURETS D'ESTRUVAL (FR)
  3. MAXFORT (IRE)
