Forecasts

Flanking Maneuver (5/4), Genois (4/1), So Des Flos (13/2), La Malmason (13/2), Digby (7/1), Verdant Place (10/1), Carrig Rock (25/1), Merrion Gate (200/1)

FLANKING MANEUVER's jumping went to pieces in the second half of the race when a well-held third at Naas on his final start of last season. However, he previously shaped very well indeed on his chase debut following a lengthy absence in a Navan Grade 2 and will be very hard to beat if reproducing form akin to that here. So des Flos, successful over hurdles at Limerick in March, gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of Genois.
