Forecasts

Battleoverdoyen (2/1), Tornado Flyer (9/4), Come To Me (4/1), Lone Wolf (10/1), Commander Of Fleet (10/1), Getareason (12/1), Sams Profile (16/1), Magnium (16/1), First Approach (33/1)

Verdict

The manner of his wins in a bumper and a Navan maiden hurdle last month will make the Gordon Elliott-trained, Battleoverdoyen popular in the market but attention is drawn to the record in this contest of trainer Willie Mullins who has saddled four of the last five winner and his TORNADO FLYER, can follow in the footsteps of the likes of Shaneshill and winner 12-months ago, Next Destination. The 'second-strings' of both trainers, Commander Of The Fleet and Come To Me appear to be the best of the rest.
