Forecasts

Colreevy (13/8), Thatsy (9/2), Vis Ta Loi (9/2), Royal Thief (11/2), Fils D'oudairies (10/1), The Big Dog (12/1), Diamond Turf (16/1), Gran Geste (22/1), Popong (25/1), Jack Hackett (40/1), Got Trumped (80/1), Carrigmoorna Pine (150/1)

Verdict

A novice with an open to look to it. ROYAL THIEF should have more to offer on the back of his Kilbeggan chase debut success and gets the nod under Rachael Blackmore but there are plenty of dangers, headed by Galway second Thatsy. Gran Geste, Fils d'Oudairies and Willie Mullins pair Colreevy and Vis Ta Loi are interesting chase newcomers.
