Forecasts

Finawn Bawn (9/4), Dragonfruit (5/1), Shanroe Al C (11/2), Glittering Love (6/1), Crixus's Escape (8/1), Duc De Grissay (9/1), She'sasupermack (11/1), Clan Legend (12/1)

Verdict

Gillian Boanas has been among the winners of late so it might be worth siding with CRIXUS'S ESCAPE to repeat last year's success in this race off an identical mark. Finawn Bawn hasn't been seen for over 2 years but Olly Murphy has his string in very good form so he could pose a big threat, particularly if the market vibes are storng. Bangor-winner Dragonfruit also makes the shortlist.

  1. CRIXUS'S ESCAPE (IRE)
  2. FINAWN BAWN (IRE)
  3. DRAGONFRUIT
