Forecasts

The Crafty Butcher (7/2), Katnap (6/1), Lisclogher Lad (13/2), Kilford (7/1), The Paparrazi Kid (8/1), Some Drama (10/1), Aughnacurraveel (10/1), Realt Mor (10/1), Canaly (11/1), Courtncatcher (14/1), My Murphy (16/1), Ludo Et Emergo (25/1)

Verdict

The Crafty Butcher is well regarded by connections and has to be taken seriously, but the step down in trip is a concern for a horse who seems to prefer further, while The Paparazzi Kid seems to have conditions all in his favour today. Preference though, is for REALT MOR. His second to Douvan in a recent Punchestown Grade 2 is the stand-out piece of form, and he can come home in front if handling the ground.
  1. Realt Mor
  2. The Paparrazi Kid
  3. The Crafty Butcher
