Forecasts

Realt Mor (13/8), Westerner Point (2/1), Champagne Harmony (9/2), Draycott Place (6/1), Shadow Catcher (14/1)

REALT MOR'S trainer has won two of the previous four in this contest and appears to hold leading claims once again. Having scored over timber at this venue a month ago, the veteran did well enough in running within seven-lengths of the mighty Douvan in the Tied Cottage at Punchestown at the beginning of this month. He holds Draycott Place on that evidence and having given a sound beating to Westerner Point over hurdles, he should confirm that form again over fences. The selection's stablemate Shadow Catcher should find this race easier but the recent figures beside his name are a worry. On just his second chase start, Champagne Harmony will do well to take close order at the finish. 1. Realt Mor 2. Westerner Point 3. Draycott Place
