Betting Forecast

13/2 Bhean Saibhre, 6/1 Houndsworth, 9/4 Le Diablo, 6/1 Doctor Confusion, 10/1 Valsorpresa, 12/1 Marlpark, 9/2 Max Meridius, 16/1 Ballinvasas Best, 14/1 At The Wings

Verdict

John Ryan has his team in excellent shape and LE DIABLO (nap) can keep up the good work following a recent second at Wexford. He faces a likely danger in Max Meridius who has run respectably in two outings on the Flat at Leopardstown since his last hurdles start. Houndsworth needs to prove that his Cork was not a fluke.
