Forecasts

Beggars Rock (5/1), Slane Hill (6/1), Invictus Machin (6/1), Dorans Law (8/1), Mica Malpic (9/1), Hand Over Fist (9/1), Arrycan (9/1), The Gradual Slope (12/1), Brazil (12/1), Sea Aster (14/1), Fairyhill Run (16/1), Donkey Years (16/1), Ambitious Fellow (25/1), Hascoeur Clermont (33/1), Donacheady Gale (40/1)

BEGGARS ROCK rates just the pick of the weights on the back of his recent Kilbeggan victory so edges the vote from Down Royal second Dorans Law. The Gradual Slope is another who can have a say on the back of a resurgent Killarney fifth with Hand Over Fist, Arrycan and Invictus Machin also well in the mix too in this highly competitive handicap.
