Forecasts

Stoneford (13/8), Defy De Mee (3/1), Ask And Answer (7/1), Settimo Milanese (7/1), Robin The Hare (8/1), Itscatrionaschoice (8/1), Double Portrait (12/1), Hugo 'n Taz (14/1), Southerner (33/1), Triangle Rock (33/1), Brave Oscar (33/1), Seeyouallinchasers (50/1), Free Code (100/1)

Verdict

If Robin The Hare takes up the running in the early stages on the ground he could hand the advantage to the improving and easy travelling STONEFORD who can take the opener to continue his progress in this company. Biggest danger is likely to be the Willie Mullins-trained Defy De Mee who is expected to improve on his stable debut run at Punchestown while Double Portrait could improve for new connections.
