Forecasts

Summer Snow (3/1), Manhattan Dandy (9/2), Master Garvey (5/1), Ferrari Desert (17/2), Play It Again Zaam (9/1), Adhuil (12/1), Barnhill Rose (12/1), Deuteronomy (14/1), Hope And Innocence (16/1), Venetian (16/1), Aurora Nova (18/1), Laurens Company (20/1), Pimstrel (25/1), Knockmore Prince (28/1), Coffeemeanscoffee (33/1), Spirit Of Paradise (33/1), Hastily (33/1), Talking Tough (66/1), Gallo Dell Cielo (80/1)

MANHATTAN DANDY justified support when beating 15 rivals in good style at Leopardstown 2 weeks ago so remains of interest. Master Garvey and Knockmore Prince head the dangers.
