Forecasts

Dark Raven (4/7), Pats Choice (3/1), So Scottish (11/1), Zero Tolerance (12/1), Itso Fury (18/1), Hey Johnny (20/1), Winding River (40/1), Getaway Master (50/1), Good Gossin (50/1), Millstream Mahler (80/1), Kingston Kid (100/1), Simon (100/1)

Verdict

Plenty of potentially interesting newcomers in this bumper but it's still hard to side against Willie Mullins' DARK RAVEN who created a good impression when forging clear for a debut success at Leopardstown. Pats Choice catches the eye on paper and looks the one to chase him home, although Hey Johnny and So Scottish are two others who command plenty of respect.

  1. DARK RAVEN (IRE)
  2. PATS CHOICE (IRE)
  3. HEY JOHNNY (IRE)
