Forecasts

Pont Aven (1/1), Make My Heart Fly (9/2), Mac N Cheese (5/1), Aasleagh Dawn (6/1), Sunrise Lady (14/1), Mon Storm (16/1), Cap D'Aubois (22/1), Eoline Jolie (33/1)

Verdict

Trainer Willie Mullins appears to have found an ideal opportunity for the Doyen gelding, PONT AVEN can get back to winning ways here following defeat behind a couple of higher rated stablemates Robin De Carlow and Brahma Bull. In a weak looking contest, the Gavin Cromwell-trained pair Mac N Cheese and Aasleagh Dawn along with Make My Heart Fly, winner at Kilbeggan last time out, can battle for the minor honours.
  1. Pont Aven
  2. Mac N Cheese
  3. Make My Heart Fly
