Forecasts

Linden Arden (11/10), Native Speaker (3/1), Ishan (4/1), Shannon Royale (9/2), Power Hour (7/1), Almuhit (8/1), West Is Awake (8/1), Rowdy Romeo (10/1), Zoffanien (14/1), Insouciant Dallier (33/1), Ballycairn (80/1)

NATIVE SPEAKER and Linden Arden both have relatively low mileage and could be the pair to concentrate on. The latter is accorded the utmost respect on the back of his all-the-way Punchestown success last month but preference is for Native Speaker, who has chased home borderline smart novices the last twice and this former point winner promises to be suited by this stiffer test now pitched into a handicap. West Is Awake is third choice ahead of Power Hour and Shannon Royale.
