Forecasts

Markhan (9/4), Artistic Melody (4/1), Queluz (5/1), St Gallen (7/1), Gunmaker (11/1), Avalanche (12/1), Kamili (12/1), Storm Ranger (14/1), Flowerhill Nova (20/1)

Verdict

Artistic Melody is the form pick after a near miss at Roscommon last time out, she's been raised only a pound and should be right in there pitching when it matters. A chance can be taken on MARKHAN for Gordon Elliott, whose team are starting to click once again. He did well enough from an unpromising position at Leopardstown last time and is starting to look very well handicapped on his best form. Kamili should be suited back down to the mile while Storm Ranger would be a key player on his penultimate effort at Leopardstown.
  1. Markhan

  3. Storm Ranger
