Forecasts

Andab (15/8), Straight Up (2/1), Moments Of Joy (4/1), Eleven A (10/1), Fairy Oak (10/1), Lookingforarainbow (20/1), Suspicious Mindz (20/1), L L Koulsty (25/1), Which Wolf Wins (33/1)

Aidan O'Brien holds a strong hand as he bids for a third successive win in this listed contest, with recent Listowel debut scorer STRAIGHT UP narrowly preferred to last-time-out Group 3 runner-up Moments of Joy. Andab, another with placed form at Group 3 level, looks best of the rest.
