Forecasts

Mala Beach (4/9), Bonny Kate (7/2), Val De Ferbet (7/1), Maggio (20/1)

Verdict

All things being equal this should go to Gordon Elliott's Troytown winner MALA BEACH. Outclassed in the Irish Gold Cup last year this is a much easier level of competition and a trip which should suit him well. Val De Ferbet and Bonny Kate, in that order, could be the ones to complete the tricast.
  1. Mala Beach
  2. Val De Ferbet
  3. Bonny Kate
