Forecasts

Leinster (9/2), Whimsy (5/1), Duke Of Leggagh (13/2), Saffronandblue (8/1), Calzaghi (10/1), Nans View (11/1), Quiz Test (11/1), Party Dress (12/1), Solar Breeze (14/1), Theophilos (16/1), Inchiquin Maid (16/1), Bear Profit (18/1), Morse (18/1), Tuba (20/1), Gangster Granny (20/1), Forlio (25/1), Desert Friend (25/1), Purple Sky (25/1), Lucky Out (33/1), Morning Logic (66/1), Jurality (80/1)

Joseph O'Brien's lightly-raced 4-y-o LEINSTER shaped well in a truncated campaign in 2024 and is taken to return in style here with this step up in trip a likely big plus. Calzaghi is another with better days ahead of him and heads the list of dangers with Party Dress, Saffronandblue and Solar Breeze all in the mix too.
