Forecasts

Mill Quest (10/11), Gunfire Reef (6/1), Ballyegan Hero (7/1), Theatre Dreams (8/1), Justmemyselfandi (17/2), Na Trachtalai Abu (9/1), Roevin Star (12/1), Tikkanen Express (20/1), Stonehall Jack (33/1), Aughnacurraveel (50/1), Baily Moon (50/1)

Verdict

The excellent record of the Gordon Elliott yard is difficult to get away from with the stable boasting a 43% win and place strike at this meeting since 2014 and his MILL QUEST can get off the mark here over the larger obstacles at the seventh time of asking following a number of solid runs over hurdles. Justmemyselfandi, last time out winner, Theatre Dreams and Na Trachtalai Abu can battle for the minors.
