Forecasts

Alghazaal (9/2), Third Avenue (13/2), Auckland (7/1), Parisienne Ways (7/1), Presto (15/2), Hook Head (10/1), Legal Spin (10/1), Mountain Fox (11/1), Sam Missile (14/1), Noble Expression (14/1), Time And Money (14/1), Chateau Musar (14/1), Grand D'espagne (20/1), Harvest Bow (28/1), Born Leader (80/1), Frankie G (200/1)

ALGHAZAAL has reserved his very best so far for AW but he didn't run too badly on the grass last time and might be worth chancing in a first-time tongue tie having dipped to a career-low mark. Legal Spin didn't make too bad start for new trainer Michael Halford at the Curragh 6 weeks ago and heads the dangers along with Parisienne Ways and John McConnell's Bellewstown scorer Third Avenue.
