Forecasts

Gosford (5/1), Swiss Army Officer (5/1), Sneddy Eddie (6/1), Alex Belardo (7/1), Lisamaria (17/2), Saffredi (9/1), Manhattan Dandy (9/1), Purring Along (9/1), Tall Story (10/1), Fastman (10/1), Rumbled Again (14/1), Above It All (22/1), Bobby K (33/1), Randall Poets Lass (33/1), Rock Dandy (33/1), Monzoon (40/1), Lisabetta (40/1)

Gavin Cromwell's SAFFREDI wasn't seen to anything like best effect when fourth at Down Royal last time and can prove his current mark to be a lenient one by opening his account here. Fairyhouse runner-up Alex Belardo should proved suited by this step up in distance so rates the main danger, although Swiss Army Officer, Sneddy Eddie and Gosford also enter calculations.
