Forecasts

Timmy Tuesday (9/4), Savante (5/2), Iamagetaway (5/1), Grann's Boy (5/1), Down Around (7/1), Kinbara Firstdraft (9/1), Smooth Scotch (10/1), Interchangeable (14/1), Chef's Kiss (14/1), Lygon Lad (16/1), Whale Harbour (16/1), Mujeres Isla (66/1)

Lots with chances but the vote goes to SAVANTE who shaped well when a running-on eighth at Leopardstown last time out and can gain a second success in this sphere now. Grann's Boy starts life in handicaps on a decent mark so rates the chief threat ahead of Iamagetaway, Timmy Tuesday and Smooth Scotch.
