Forecasts

Anstand (3/1), Wee Charlie (4/1), Falvio (4/1), Rideau Canal (8/1), Dragon's Pass (10/1), Young Fitzy (11/1), Everystep Oftheway (12/1), Galactic Grey (14/1), Rovetta (16/1), Be My Hero (22/1), Hide Out (25/1), Littel Flour (28/1), Adhuil (33/1), Emir De Rots (40/1), Danesfort Mayfly (40/1), Lough Na Fooey (40/1), Attitash (40/1), Lariat (50/1), Prince Of Air (66/1), Mad For The Craic (66/1), On My Bike (100/1)

There should be more to come from FALVIO now that he drops back in trip having found 2½m too much of a test at Fairyhouse recently. The 5-y-o was a good second over this C&D on his penultimate start and he represents a yard in good form. Anstand has taken steps forward switched to handicap company the last twice and he is second choice. Wee Charlie went close at Fairyhouse where he had Falvio back in seventh but may struggle to confirm those placings back down in trip here.
