Forecasts

Beacon Edge (7/4), Entoucas (9/4), Cedarwood Road (7/2), Meticulous (10/1), Jungle Junction (11/1), Le Musigny (20/1), Fantasio D'alene (20/1), The Little Yank (33/1)

Verdict

The Noel Meade-trained BEACON EDGE can get back to winning ways for owners Gigginstown House Stud. The six-year-old was beaten a nose over a similar trip in a Grade 2 contest at this venue last month and can see off the attentions of the Joseph O'Brien-trained, J P McManus-owned Entoucas who got off the mark for connections at the seventh time of asking over hurdles when landing a maiden hurdle over C&D last month. Cedarwood Road, another winner last time out and Jungle Junction can compete for remaining prize money.
