Forecasts

Concertista (4/5), My Sister Sarah (11/2), Black Tears (7/1), Buildmeupbuttercup (8/1), Minella Melody (17/2), Mary Frances (20/1), Darrens Hope (50/1), Serpolette (300/1)

Verdict

Consistent and progressive last season, BLACK TEARS looked in need of the run when third in the listed event won by Buildmeupbuttercup at Punchestown in November. She is likely to be a different proposition here and is taken to emerge on top. Buildmeupbuttercup is clearly in good heart but she's not the slickest of jumpers and stablemates Concertista and My Sister Sarah rate the main dangers.

  1. BLACK TEARS
  2. CONCERTISTA (FR)
  3. MY SISTER SARAH (IRE)
