Forecasts

Irish Point (1/4), Lily Du Berlais (6/1), Nucky Johnson (15/2), No Looking Back (8/1), Good Heavens (14/1), Walhaan (14/1), Rumi (33/1), Monty's Way (250/1)

Verdict

IRISH POINT was rather disappointing at Leopardstown last month but he's hard to knock otherwise and should prove hard to beat at this level. Several of his rivals are open to improvement, not least Nucky Johnson, who represents last year's winning yard and he rates the main danger. However, No Looking Back is also accorded respect, for all that he will need to step up a notch under a penalty here, while Lily Du Berlais is another who could have a part to play.
