Forecasts

Braid Blue (11/10), Sweet Home Chicago (4/1), Somptueux (5/1), Mister Eddman (13/2), Monkshood (12/1), Dollar Value (14/1), Benefit North (33/1), Gagas Horse (33/1), Rubiana (66/1), Walkers Point (66/1), Michael's Pick (200/1), Caerleon Kate (200/1), Tickentwo (200/1)

Verdict

BRAID BLUE's useful hurdle form gives him the scope to build on his first experience of fences at Wexford earlier this month and he's preferred to Henry de Bromhead chase newcomer Somptueux and Colin Bowe's Sweet Home Chicago, who travelled well enough on his chase debut until his saddle slipped.

  1. BRAID BLUE (IRE)
  2. SOMPTUEUX (FR)
  3. SWEET HOME CHICAGO (IRE)
