Forecasts

Recite A Prayer (1/1), Mr Jackman (5/2), Multifactorial (10/3), Orcadian Symphony (16/1), Ruler Of Dubai (20/1), I Don't Get It (22/1), Subtle Robin (22/1), Herculaneum (150/1), Xquisite (300/1)

Verdict

RECITE A PRAYER made a promising start for Willie Mullins when runner-up on his hurdling bow at Tipperary and can go one better now with improvement in the pipeline. Multifactorial rates much the biggest threat on form with Limerick fourth Orcadian Symphony appealing as a solid option for minor honours.

  1. RECITE A PRAYER (IRE)
  2. MULTIFACTORIAL (IRE)
  3. ORCADIAN SYMPHONY (IRE)
