Forecasts

Gaelic Warrior (2/1), Il Etait Temps (7/2), Quilixios (11/2), Found A Fifty (13/2), Hunters Yarn (15/2), JPR One (16/1), Matata (22/1), Master Chewy (22/1), My Mate Mozzie (25/1), Authorised Speed (100/1)

Although HUNTERS YARN lacks chase experience he was impressive when coasting home in a Fairyhouse maiden last time and the same trainer's Duc des Genievres took this in 2019 having won only a maiden before. The selection's stablemates Gaelic Warrior, who can't have been right last time, and Il Etait Temps have more established credentials having already tasted Grade 1 success over fences and head the dangers along with Found A Fifty.
