Forecasts

Kosman (4/1), Sincerest (9/2), Tipperary Moon (11/2), Han Solo (7/1), Legal Thriller (15/2), Oneiroi (8/1), Colonel Slade (9/1), Sideshow Bob (10/1), Koybig (12/1), Pirate Lass (22/1), Myrcella (25/1), Stay Thinking (33/1), Little Camacho (33/1), Al Aresh (40/1), The Alpha Man (50/1), Macocha (66/1), Vormir (66/1)

KOSMAN and Oneiroi both acquitted themselves well at Leopardstown recently, finishing second and fourth respectively, with just a length separating them. The latter is 2 lb better off here and is greatly respected, but he again looked less than straightforward in that handicap and Kosman is taken to confirm those placings and emerge on top. Tipperary Moon and Legal Thriller are others to consider.
