Forecasts

Lilshane (7/2), Sanibel Island (4/1), Concordin (4/1), Grand Partner (5/1), Admiral Brian (11/2), Bitview Colin (10/1), Benkei (12/1), Sound Money (16/1), Bashful Beauty (20/1), Cardhu (25/1)

Verdict

Last year's winner Lilshane is respected having run a very good race last time out but his overall form since winning this race 12 months ago makes him something of a risky proposition. Cardhu must defy a long absence and so it is hard to envisage he'll resume ready to defy a career-high mark now. GRAND PARTNER has been in excellent fettle around Leopardstown of late and, despite a ratings hike for finishing third last time out, he has a decent chance to get back to winning ways in what looks a weaker contest on paper. Concordin is greatly respected now returned to the sort of trip he won at in December.
