Forecasts

Gandolfo (13/8), Red Special (9/4), Dark Viper (7/2), Goldrush Kid (9/2), Lost Soul (20/1), Saxon Kingdom (25/1), Man Is King (50/1), Zoffany Gold (80/1), Rene Artois (100/1), Purrrfect Timing (100/1), Begleys Forge (150/1), Easyshineadiamond (150/1)

Only a handful of these make any serious appeal, RED SPECIAL getting the vote to open his account in refitted headgear having not been seen to best effect at Laytown last month. Second choice is Goldrush Kid, who probably needed the run after 4 months off making his handicap debut at the Curragh last time, while Gandolfo and Dark Viper have both shown enough to be involved too so round off the shortlist.
