Forecasts

Roman Parish (5/2), Paddy Elvis (10/3), That's About Right (9/2), Aliunde (13/2), Rewrite The Script (15/2), Whiskey Lady (17/2), Johnny Cakes (12/1), Suile Ban (14/1), Mosaaheb (16/1)

Verdict

PADDY ELVIS reverts to handicap company on an attractive mark having posted a very good C&D novice fifth last time out so gets the vote. Aliunde rates the chief danger back in this sphere, although That's About Right didn't enjoy the rub of the green when seventh at Naas and have can have a say too.

  1. PADDY ELVIS (IRE)
  2. ALIUNDE (IRE)
  3. THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT (IRE)
