Forecasts

Out Sam (3/1), School Lane (9/2), Danse Away (9/2), Teacher's Pet (7/1), Tongie (7/1), Amaulino (8/1), Undressed (10/1), Logical Song (12/1), Space Cadet (14/1), King's Song (20/1)

Verdict

Out Sam, winner of the Cork National and fourth in the Thyestes is the form pick for Gordon Elliott and Davy Russell and should have a big say but it might be worth siding with LOGICAL SONG, winner of that same Mallow event in late 2017 and off since. He won that day very easily and remains unexposed over this sort of stamina test. A mark of 133 may underestimate him if Mags Mullins has him spot on now. Danse Away is taking to chasing nicely and could play a hand if handling this trip, though a query is attached to Leopardstown winner Amaulino now upped in journey, with runner-up School Lane perhaps more suited to this test.
  1. Logical Song
