Forecasts

Aingeal Dorcha (4/1), Covert Mission (5/1), Devious Dreamer (6/1), Nakao (6/1), Just Reminiscing (6/1), Princess Sela (13/2), Battle Of Evermore (8/1), Flying Rock (8/1), Knocknakilla (12/1), The Last Knight (12/1), Faraah (14/1), New Hill (14/1), Noble Seal (18/1), Albedo (25/1), Virtual Hug (25/1), Moddy Poddle (28/1), Dandyville (28/1), Chica Power (50/1), Tullypole Annie (50/1)

Lots with chances. DEVIOUS DREAMER arrives on the back of an excellent recent third at Dundalk so gets the nod at the chief expense of The Last Knight who is weighted to have a say on his best form. Albedo is less exposed than most and one to consider too now going into handicaps.
