Forecasts

Ney (5/2), Hory (5/2), Backintheroom (10/3), Navigator Jack (14/1), Steppenwolf (14/1), Toon Town (16/1), Verdant Place (18/1), Ballycallan King (20/1), Brucejack (22/1), Eastern Tornado (22/1), Cardinal Rule (25/1), Sonny May (33/1), Rockbrook (50/1), Invivo (66/1), Kerosine Light (100/1)

Verdict

HORY shaped a lot better than an eighth-place finish would suggest on debut at Navan 18 days ago and with improvement forthcoming, he could be the answer. Ney and Steppenwolf are a couple of potential dangers.

  1. HORY (FR)
  2. NEY (IRE)
  3. STEPPENWOLF (FR)
