Forecasts

Whiskey Sour (9/10), Campeador (3/1), Lac Kivu (8/1), Dr Mikey (8/1), Swamp Fox (10/1), Tigris River (11/1)

Verdict

Last year's winner Dr Mikey arrives back in good form after a dress rehearsal second here but faces a tough task seemingly. The McManus pair of Campeador and Tigris River may go well in this company but champion trainer Willie Mullins has a strong hand. The long-absent Lac Kivu will be scrutinised in the betting but WHISKEY SOUR ran a fine race in the County Hurdle last month and with a handy 7lb taken off his back, he looks a major player now.
  1. Whiskey Sour
