Koshari (1/1), Woodland Opera (5/2), Count Simon (7/1), Boot Camp (9/1), Jaime Sommers (14/1), Massini's Trap (25/1), My Manekineko (33/1)

Verdict

Koshari was easily dismissed in the Galway Plate recently. Willie Mullins' representative should be more at home in these calmer waters and is lightly-raced over timber, ensuring this looks a decent opportunity for the son of Walk In The Park. Woodland Opera has been fairly consistent of late in both codes and should run his race once more but, receiving weight all round, COUNT SIMON may be able to better recent runner-up finishes at Downpatrick and Galway. Boot Camp isn't dismissed completely, though may do better in handicaps.
  1. Count Simon
  2. Koshari
  3. Boot Camp
