Forecasts

Livelovelaugh (4/7), Burgas (10/3), Midnight Escape (8/1), Drumconnor Lad (14/1), Oathkeeper (14/1), Carrigmoorna Matt (20/1), Mannin Island (28/1), Hidden Charmer (33/1), Spare Brakes (50/1), Hawk Eye Down (100/1)

Burgas has been running against some decent prospects, but will find this company more to his liking and has to go on the short list. However, narrow preference is for LIVELOVELAUGH, who made a pleasing debut over fences at Fairyhouse and can step up on that effort. Midnight Escape and Drumconnor Lad are not ruled out, while Oathkeeper would be a threat if returning to his best after a poor run last time.
