Forecasts

Fangio De Vassy (5/6), Gelee Blanche (10/3), Song Of Earth (11/2), Johngus (8/1), Polla Milano (10/1), Imperial Sachin's (14/1), Pale Blue Dot (14/1), Gaulois (20/1), The Inish Pirate (100/1), Thefourfacedliar (125/1), Wild Eelin (150/1)

Verdict

FANGIO DE VASSY shaped well when fifth in a big-field Leopardstown novice on his recent hurdling bow so is taken to build on that for his in-form handler and open his account. Song of Earth arrives at the top of his game so looks the one to chase home Henry de Bromhead's improver with debutants Polla Milano and Imperial Sachin's also worth a look too in an intriguing contest.

  1. FANGIO DE VASSY (FR)
  2. SONG OF EARTH (IRE)
  3. POLLA MILANO (IRE)
