Forecasts

Laughifuwant (5/4), Adelaise (7/4), Duke Of Leggagh (3/1), Trachonitus (4/1), Shigar (9/2), Timourid (14/1), Lord Erskine (25/1)

ADELAISE remains winless this term but turned in another solid effort when runner-up at Leopardstown (1m) 3 weeks ago and in a race where a host have something to prove, she looks to hold sound claims. Laughifuwant is fancied to emerge as the chief threat.
