Forecasts

Oathkeeper (4/1), Dont Tell No One (13/2), Tesseract (7/1), Ballela Boy (8/1), Jeannot De Nonant (8/1), Just Cause (8/1), Fly Rory Fly (8/1), A Rated (8/1), Bosman Rule (10/1), Cassells Rock (14/1), Poormans Hill (33/1), Silverfort (33/1), Fruits Of Gold (66/1), Present News (100/1)

Verdict

Don't Tell No One was a close third in this race last year for Dermot Weld but hasn't raced since, so his fitness must be taken on trust as he reappears for John Kiely. Oathkeeper and A Rated are interesting on their chasing debut's but preference is for the improving FLY RORY FLY who shaped like a future winner when beating everything bar the classy Rathvinden at Wexford last time.
  1. Fly Rory Fly
  2. Tesseract
  3. A Rated
