Forecasts

Mon Lino (5/4), Kayf Thou (2/1), Danse Away (7/2), Kilganer Queen (11/2), Sweet As A Nut (15/2), King's Song (8/1), Thekingofconnemara (12/1), Home Place (20/1)

Verdict

Trainer Paul Nolan may have found an ideal opening for the Martaline gelding Mon Lino to get of the mark for J P McManus at the eighth time of asking over the larger obstacles but the form of the Gordon Elliott-yard at this meeting in the last four years cannot be ignored and his Fairyhouse handicap chase winner KAYF THOU can get back to winning ways here under jockey Jack Kennedy following a hiccup on his last start earlier this month. Danse Away and King's Song can battle it out for the remaining place.
  1. Kayf Thou
  2. Mon Lino
  3. King's Song
