Forecasts

Wolf Prince (9/10), Instant Return (5/2), Brawny (10/1), Top Line Tommy (14/1), Majority Share (14/1), Millford Sound (16/1), Nobel Joshua (25/1), Wee Jim (33/1), Dragon's Pass (33/1), Faerie Laws (50/1), Pretty Fantasy (66/1), Starbella (66/1), Futurum Regem (80/1), Stay In (100/1)

Verdict

The Gavin Cromwell-trained WOLF PRINCE wouldn't have to improve too much to land the spoils in the opener. The Pour Moi gelding should improve enough to see off the attentions of Instant Return for trainer Jessica Harrington with the Elzaam gelding having to settle for a minor honour once again. The Gordon Elliott-trained Brawny should improve on his debut at Punchestown last month while Dragon's Pass and Milford Sound could go well for each-way punters.
