Forecasts

Real Steel (9/4), Moon Over Germany (5/2), Paloma Blue (4/1), Mitchouka (8/1), Red Jack (8/1), Dolciano Dici (14/1), Impact Factor (25/1), Dakota Moirette (25/1), Uisce Beatha (50/1)

Verdict

Paloma Blue was a bit disappointing on chase bow at Navan last time. He should improve on that showing but might remain vulnerable now. Moon Over Germany ran a fine race behind Getabird last time and will go close with a repeat, though that run did come on the back of a two-year absence so there are reasons to be cautious. Mitchouka is getting the hang of chasing but this might go the way of newcomer REAL STEEL, an above average hurdler for the champion trainer that likely has a good future in this sphere.
