Forecasts

Politicise (11/10), Barrington Court (2/1), Gealach (7/2), Battle Of Wills (5/1), Dame De Ruban (7/1), Skyace (10/1)

A trappy contest for sure but BARRINGTON COURT may be the answer. She returned at Tipperary to score a second hurdles win this month despite a mistake late on. The runner-up has since pushed the progressive The Very Man close at Roscommon and this former Listed bumper winner has the experience to see off younger rivals on these terms. The Gordon Elliott pair Battle Of Willis and Gealach are clear dangers, while Politicise and Skyace are in winning form and likely capable of improving.
