Forecasts

Falcon Eight (4/6), Shanroe (7/4), Sea Appeal (17/2), Mona's Star (10/1), Dagoda (22/1), Benkei (50/1), Ricky Bobby (66/1), Balaclava (200/1), Mo Churam (200/1)

Verdict

FALCON EIGHT gave weight and a beating to Shanroe in the Irish Cesarewitch here 4 weeks ago and receives 7 lb from Karl Thornton's charge this time so he's very hard to get away from in a race which should be dominated by the pair.

  1. FALCON EIGHT (IRE)
  2. SHANROE
  3. SEA APPEAL (IRE)
