Forecasts

Nikki Swango (11/8), Wellwhatshappenin (5/1), Irish Rumour (6/1), Eric Lock (13/2), Roman Harry (11/1), Distillate (12/1), Bowman (12/1), Shelbourne Flyer (14/1), Nammos (16/1), Lahore Da King (20/1), Circles (25/1), Hell Left Loose (28/1), Blue Wood (28/1), Reponse Finale (33/1), Lexington Dash (33/1), Southgreen (33/1), Plastic Paddy (80/1)

IRISH RUMOUR signalled she is ready to end a losing sequence when runner-up in a big-field Fairyhouse handicap last time so gets the nod off a 3 lb lower mark here. Wellwhatshappenin is feared most on the back of his recent C&D victory with Nikki Swango, Distillate and Nammos all well in the mix too.
