Forecasts

Takarengo (5/4), James Fort (5/2), Maccloud (4/1), Henry Star (8/1), Thedancingfarrier (16/1), Song Of Bareliere (25/1), Gaye Niniski (25/1), He Fitz In (25/1), Wrong Way Harry (40/1), Chapel Street (50/1), Dickie Bowe (50/1), Dromleigh (66/1), Pats Gift (80/1), Daicheadacuig (125/1), Hisdaywillcome (125/1), Roped In (200/1), So Efficient (200/1), Rathbourne Banks (300/1), Grey Skies (500/1)

Verdict

JAMES FORT is getting better by the run and should be suited by the step up in trip, so he's fancied to improve past Takarengo in a race that the pair should dominate. Maccloud made a pleasing start to Rules at Leopardstown 17 days ago and, based on his point win, probably has more to offer, so he's the pick of the remainder.

  1. JAMES FORT (IRE)
  2. TAKARENGO (IRE)
  3. MACCLOUD (IRE)
