Forecasts

Getabird (1/1), Sharjah (9/2), Hardline (6/1), Veneer Of Charm (8/1), Sayar (12/1), Draconien (16/1), Damalisque (25/1), The Gunner Murphy (28/1), Or Jaune De Somoza (50/1)

Verdict

Willie Mullins, winner of this race five times since 2009, has a typically strong hand headlined by beaten Supreme Novices' favourite Getabird. Going back right-handed should suit and he's much respected but probably opposable at the prices. Fred Winter scorer Veneer Of Charm is expected to get involved in the finish while Sharjah ran well at Cheltenham has clear potential in this field. The improving Hardline is a contender but SAYAR might be the value call. He's well thought of at Closutton and can maintain an unbeaten record over timber. French import Damalisque could run a big race on debut for connections.
  1. Sayar
  2. Sharjah
  3. Damalisque
