Forecasts

Davitt (16/5), Inventor (10/3), Conversant (9/2), Linus Larrabee (13/2), Clara's Approach (7/1), Markievicz (15/2), Darkdeserthighway (15/2), Fascinating Spirit (9/1), Fine Distraction (12/1), Coffeemeanscoffee (14/1), Only Jack (14/1), Royal Hideaway (18/1), Cornish Rock (20/1), Amazing One (22/1), Boughtinthedark (22/1), A Cool Case (25/1), Ceapach Rua (50/1), Cool As Ever (50/1)

In a race where few arrive with compelling claims CLARA'S APPROACH is fancied to make light of an 8 lb rise for her comfortably Naas success last month. The booking of Colin Keane for Davitt takes the eye and he's a possible threat, while Markievicz could also get involved if recapturing the form she showed when third to the selection at Naas.
