Forecasts

Positive Thinker (7/2), Rebellious Gale (13/2), Heyjoe De Kerser (13/2), Miss Tempo (8/1), American Money (10/1), Bocelli's Voice (10/1), Junior Rattler (11/1), Ladiam (12/1), Mister Twist (12/1), Lovely Reaction (12/1), Nephin Beg (16/1), General Clermont (20/1), Fancy A Cosmo (22/1), Aide De Camp (25/1), Ernie From Nurney (25/1), Monty's Way (25/1), Tilloughna (25/1), Johnny Cigar (28/1), Jet Setting Johnny (28/1), Navigator Jack (33/1), Sean Og (40/1), Midnight Our Fred (50/1), Prussia With Love (66/1)

There's likely more to come from Cork maiden winner BOCELLI'S VOICE, particularly now stepping up in trip, so he might prove the answer to this very competitive handicap. Junior Rattler, Naas winner Miss Tempo and Philip Fenton's Mister Twist head the many possible dangers. First reserve Lovely Reaction would merit plenty of respect if getting a run.
