Forecasts

Coeur Joyeux (11/10), Robin Des Mana (13/8), Danboru (9/2), Kitty B (12/1), Class Honours (25/1), Corskeagh Express (33/1)

Verdict

Coeur Joyeux is the pick of those with experience at this discipline but, with 12 placed efforts from 17 starts and no wins to boast, the risks of taking a short price on his chance are inherent. Instead it might be best to give a chance to chase debutant ROBIN DES MANA for the potent combination of Gordon Elliott and Davy Russell (21% in 2017 so far). He comes here off a break but should know his task and may prove better jumping fences that he was over timber. Danboru ran a decent race at Killarney in May on chase bow in testing conditions and worth noting this afternoon in his return in a race that may not take much winning.
