Forecasts
Balko D'ange (10/3), Captains Nephew (7/2), Duke Of Leggagh (9/2), Kimy (6/1), San Aer (7/1), American Money (10/1), Miss Gherkin (12/1), Gabbys Cross (16/1), Semblance Of Order (25/1), Ballystone (40/1), The Names Jock (66/1)
Plenty with chances but recent course scorer DUKE OF LEGGAGH rates just the pick of these weights so edges the vote from good Leopardstown runner-up Kimy. Balko d'Ange and Miss Gherkin both need factoring in too with Captains Nephew completing the shortlist.
- DUKE OF LEGGAGH (IRE)
- KIMY (FR)
- BALKO D'ANGE (FR)
