Forecasts

Beggars Rock (4/1), Invictus Machin (9/2), Slane Hill (6/1), Dorans Law (13/2), Donacheady Gale (8/1), Arrycan (12/1), Ambitious Fellow (12/1), Sea Aster (14/1), Hand Over Fist (14/1), Fairyhill Run (14/1), Donkey Years (16/1), The Gradual Slope (16/1), Mica Malpic (20/1), Hascoeur Clermont (25/1), Brazil (25/1)

Verdict

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.
