Forecasts

Cilaos Emery (4/5), Ballyoisin (2/1), Great Field (4/1), Us And Them (16/1)

It's difficult to see past the Willie Mullins-trained CILAOS EMERY following on from a solid return to action when taking the Grade 3 Poplar Square Chase over 2m last month. The gelding can make it 11 wins in the race for his trainer since he saddled his last seven-year-old to win the race with Golden Silver in 2009. Ballyoisin beat the more fancied A Plus Tard and Duc Des Genievres in the Grade 2 Fortria last month and can give the selection the most to think about. Great Field, faller at the second in last years renewal when 4/7f should not be taken lightly.
