Forecasts

Laughifuwant (5/4), Free Solo (10/3), Real Force (4/1), Surrounding (5/1), Irish Admiral (10/1), Eldama (10/1), Wilds Dreams (11/1), Prince Of Naples (33/1), Nebo (33/1), Wonder Elzaam (50/1)

Verdict

LAUGHIFUWANT is the form pick having gone down only narrowly in Group 3 company at Tipperary last time so is taken to make amends here. Surrounding looks the one to give him most to do although in-form Free Solo and the unexposed Irish Admiral are not discounted either.

  1. LAUGHIFUWANT (IRE)
  2. SURROUNDING (IRE)
  3. FREE SOLO (IRE)
