Forecasts

Christopher Robin (9/10), Tullyallen (3/1), Machiavelli (5/1), Crecerelle (11/1), Cimeara (14/1)

Verdict

Christopher Robin could be hard to hold on his handicap debut for the Ballydoyle team though he is tackling a new trip with headgear added now and he'll have to be at his peak seemingly. With a fitness edge from a recent Cork win on similar ground, TULLYALLEN is favoured at the likely prices. That was an improved effort last time out and there could be more to come from John Oxx's Arcano colt. Cimeara and Crecerelle can fight it out for the minors.
