Forecasts

Charles Fort (5/4), Howd'yadoit (7/2), Morehampton (11/2), Chicago Call (7/1), Treasured Royal (12/1), Alibah (18/1), Yaupon De Replay (20/1), Fresh Fade (22/1), Nuevo Slovo (25/1), Dawn Romance (25/1), Slaudeen (25/1), Tertre Rouge (50/1), Sir Alfie (50/1)

Lots with chances in this listed event but Ger Lyons' progressive HOWD'YADOIT is fancied to complete a hat-trick and gain his most prestigious prize yet. Charles Fort heads the list of dangers on the back of an impressive Cork victory, although Sir Alfie, Slaudeen and Alibah can all have a say too.
