Forecasts

Star of Rory (10/3), Nordic Combined (10/3), Robinshill (5/1), Eddiemaurice (8/1), Ey Up Rocky (8/1), Lisheen Castle (8/1), Olympic Honour (9/1), Deniliquin (10/1), Gerolamo Cardano (12/1)

Verdict

A few of these have plenty to prove, but EDDIEMAURICE isn't one of them. A regular at this sort of level, he's back on his last winning mark so a bold showing looks firmly on the cards. Robinshill chases a 4-timer and has to be feared, while the market will help assess Lisheen Castle on return from 2 years off.

  1. EDDIEMAURICE (IRE)
  2. ROBINSHILL (IRE)
  3. LISHEEN CASTLE (IRE)
