Forecasts

Allaho (3/1), Min (4/1), Fakir D'Oudairies (11/2), Samcro (15/2), Melon (8/1), Mister Fisher (8/1), Imperial Aura (8/1), Saint Calvados (8/1), Dashel Drasher (14/1), Tornado Flyer (25/1), Kalashnikov (25/1), Real Steel (25/1), Chris's Dream (28/1), Fanion D'estruval (66/1)

A very open-looking Grade 1 by this week's standards. ALLAHO responded really well to forcing tactics back over this trip when a dominant winner of a Grade 2 at Thurles and is just about the pick. Fellow second-season chasers Imperial Aura and Mister Fisher warrant consideration, but last year's winner Min is the obvious danger if back on song.
