Forecasts

La Sorelita (7/4), Surin (10/3), Got Trumped (4/1), Gardens of Babylon (5/1), Havingagoodtime (5/1), Lever Du Soleil (8/1), So Enjoy (25/1), Smiling Eliza (33/1)

Verdict

Gowran Park maiden winner LEVER DU SOLEIL wasn't disgraced here in graded company when last spotted and might hold strong claims in this company. Gavin Cromwell's charge is capable of better again and can get the better of Got Trumped, who ran well at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting in a better race than this. Gardens of Babylon got the better of Surin at Punchestown on New Year's Eve, though only just. The latter is now fitter and 5lb better off, and can reverse that form.
  1. Lever Du Soleil
  2. Got Trumped
  3. Surin
