Forecasts

The Nice Guy (1/1), Flemencello (5/2), Dorans Weir (8/1), Smooth Player (8/1), Johnny Cigar (11/1), Gaelic Arc (50/1), Into The Sunset (50/1)

Verdict

THE NICE GUY scored with a bit in hand first time out and he's the preference of Patrick Mullins, so he gets the marginal vote ahead of stablemate Flemencello, who has the best form and was strong in the betting before she slipped up at Navan last time. Smooth Player also deserves respect.

  1. THE NICE GUY (IRE)
  2. FLEMENCELLO (IRE)
  3. SMOOTH PLAYER (IRE)
