Forecasts

Rapid Escape (4/6), Punches Cross (4/1), Speirling (5/1), The Holy One (11/2), Gaillimh Abu (28/1), Singirishmansing (33/1), The Shunter (50/1), Oldcastle (66/1)

Verdict

RAPID ESCAPE looked a potentially useful individual when winning at Down Royal earlier this month and he can add a second bumper to his tally under useful amateur rider Lisa O'Neill. Punches Cross is related to a couple of bumper winners and hailing from a leading stable he can chase the selection home while point-to-point winner The Holy One can get the better of Speirling in the race for third.
  1. Rapid Escape
  2. Punches Cross
  3. The Holy One
