Forecasts

Lyrical Genius (9/2), Ballydisco (13/2), Silver In Disguise (15/2), Aquila Sky (15/2), Track And Trace (8/1), Pottlerath (8/1), Johnny B (9/1), Leading Swoop (10/1), Haut Folin (12/1), No No Maestro (14/1), Innisfree Lad (14/1), Max Dynamo (22/1)

Verdict

LYRICAL GENIUS clearly has his limitations but this could be the day when he finally delivers the goods. The 7-y-o left the impression that this drop back in distance would be in his favour when third over a marathon trip here last month and he's been eased another 2 lb since. If No No Maestro returns to form he would be a serious player, while the veteran Max Dynamo also enters calculations and Silver In Disguise has been given a chance by the handicapper.

  1. LYRICAL GENIUS (IRE)
  2. NO NO MAESTRO (IRE)
  3. MAX DYNAMO
