Forecasts

Tangental (7/4), Lizlucky (11/2), Dr Val (6/1), Ballyglass Beauty (9/1), Killinure Lass (10/1), Pale Blue Dot (10/1), Cher Why Not (12/1), Shantou Lucky (12/1), Duffys Getaway (12/1), Sean Says (16/1), Lizrona (16/1), Mrs Watson (28/1), Whip Whitaker (33/1), Owl Creek Bridge (50/1), Coole Vision (66/1), Robin De Light (66/1)

Verdict

TANGENTAL impressed when going in at Clonmel last time and a 7 lb rise in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from following up. Ballyglass Beauty is feared most on the back of his good Punchestown second, with Sean Says, Cher Why Not and Dr Val all shortlisted too.
