Forecasts

Astronomer (6/4), Low Sun (2/1), Uradel (6/1), Warnaq (10/1), Song Of Namibia (12/1), The Mouse Doctor (14/1), Fearaun (20/1), Mezajy (50/1)

Verdict

Low Sun has been in super form both over hurdles and on the Flat, and isn't overlooked easily, but this represents a sharp drop in trip and despite winning form in France over shorter in his youth, it is a sizeable change in tact now. Fearaun is a potential improver going handicapping while the same is true of Astronomer, despite the relative concerns over the Ballydoyle string just now. Uradel, the second Mullins runner, is also facing a stiff drop in distance and so THE MOUSE DOCTOR, winner at Leopardstown last time out, holds the vote to follow up having gone up 5lb.
  1. The Mouse Doctor
  2. Low Sun
  3. Astronomer
