Forecasts

Dancing Steve (10/3), Copper Craft (4/1), Navajo Point (6/1), Wingit (13/2), Rising Sky (7/1), Storm Eric (11/1), Coul Dore (11/1), Retro Gal (12/1), My Vonnie (16/1), Tortola (22/1), Shahada Ace (25/1), Barretstown (28/1), Anchors Away (40/1), Threebiggulps (40/1)

Verdict

RETRO GAL is less exposed than most in this field and Henry de Bromhead's 3-y-o is fancied to get off the mark. Dancing Steve has dropped in the weights and shaped with more encouragement a Leopardstown last time, with Storm Eric also respected given his course record.
