Forecasts

Jetz (7/4), Duca De Thaix (2/1), Benruben (7/2), Cubomania (5/1)

Verdict

There could have been excuses for the Gordon Elliott-trained DUCA DE THAIX last time at Navan and the six-year-old can put the record straight here getting a strong pull at the weights on more suitable ground. The Gigginstown House Stud representative can get the better of Jetz and Benruben, his last time out conquerors.
  1. Duca De Thaix

  3. Benruben
