Forecasts

Lough Nigara (10/3), No Fussing (4/1), Givehimthehonour (9/2), Solly Attwell (5/1), Temptationinmilan (11/2), Cloudy Fountain (15/2), Winding River (8/1), Chance The Robin (12/1), Lucy Prunella (12/1), Well Polly (16/1), Cregane Ned (20/1), Smackwater Jack (50/1), Makaela's Choice (50/1)

Verdict

The suggestion is TEMPTATIONINMILAN who is well treated judged on chase form, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Solly Attwell shaped well on his handicap debut at Fairyhouse and is second choice ahead of Paul Nolan's Givehimthehonour. Lough Nigara is another who could have a part to play in what looks a competitive affair.
