Forecasts

Cowboy Justice (9/2), Magic Chegaga (6/1), Mosala (6/1), Crystal Black (15/2), Fastnet Crown (8/1), Pierre Lapin (9/1), Casanova (12/1), Patrick Sarsfield (12/1), Saltonstall (12/1), Dha Leath (12/1), Star Harbour (16/1), Sirjack Thomas (16/1), Soaring Monarch (20/1), Venice Biennale (25/1), Finans Bay (25/1), In From The Cold (25/1), Current Option (28/1), Monaasib (28/1), Verhoyen (40/1), Bowerman (40/1), Spanish Tenor (40/1)

Verdict

Ultra-competitive with the vote going to MOSALA, who went close in a similar event at Leopardstown last time. Last year's winner Sirjack Thomas and improving 3-y-o Cowboy Justice head the dangers.
