Forecasts

Dynamic Force (4/1), Pier Pressure (6/1), Free Solo (13/2), Bucaneer's Spirit (13/2), Clonmacash (15/2), Flying Bay (8/1), Port Louis (10/1), Desert Haven (10/1), Black Storm (12/1), On A Session (12/1), Shoot To Kill (12/1), Summer Snow (14/1), Run Forrest Run (14/1), Rock Etoile (20/1), Giuseppe Cassioli (25/1), Beauty Generation (33/1), Glen Princess (66/1)

The vote goes to DESERT HAVEN, who was a good second in a Leopardstown handicap in April and he also found just one too good over hurdles at Ballinrobe last time. Dynamic Force has been knocking on the door and looks set for another leading role, while Free Solo and Giuseppe Cassioli also enter calculations.
