Forecasts

Koshari (8/11), Wishmoor (11/4), Fire In His Eyes (7/2), Kopookris (20/1), Veneziano Springs (33/1), Tobar Geal (66/1), Caoimhe Diva (66/1), Lough Derg Lyric (66/1), Jamesmicheal (100/1)

Verdict

The returning KOSHARI can make a winning chase debut following a 13 month absence in this opening contest. The selection proved a disappointment on his second and final outing for Willie Mullins last season but is sure to be primed for his return to action and he can see off Fire In His Eyes who put in a respectable effort here last time out with Wishmoor, who wears a visor for the first time today taken to claim third.
  1. Koshari
