Forecasts

Saturnas (7/4), Light That (9/2), Dakota Moirette (5/1), Avenir D'Une Vie (13/2), Don't Let Go (10/1), Thirsty Work (12/1), Sort It Out (12/1), Spare Brakes (20/1), That's A Wrap (25/1), Glacial Shadow (33/1)

Verdict

The contender here with the best form over hurdles is, by a very long way SATURNAS. It may be a slightly concern that the six-year-old has been off since performing poorly at Leopardstown in February, but with a Grade 1 win under his belt over the smaller obstacles it's impossible to ignore his claims and he can make a winning debut over fences here. Don't Let Go is lightly raced and was progressive over hurdles and is preferred next, ahead of recent C&D runner-up Light That.
  1. Saturnas
  2. Don't Let Go
  3. Light That
