Forecasts

Little Big Bear (7/4), Tough Talk (5/2), Forceful Speed (7/2), National Question (8/1), Panic Alarm (9/1), Approaching Bear (14/1), Shartash (16/1), Wodao (16/1), McCauley's Tavern (33/1), Hokusai (50/1), Rumbled Again (100/1), Falkor (100/1), Our Boy Wes (125/1), Ulaffinatmeboy (250/1)

Verdict

There was plenty to like about FORCEFUL SPEED's debut effort here a couple of weeks ago so he's the percentage call to put that experience to good use. Aidan O'Brien won this last year and his Little Big Bear is one of a few likely types among the newcomers. Tough Talk and Shartash are just 2 of many others worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

  1. FORCEFUL SPEED (IRE)
  2. LITTLE BIG BEAR (IRE)
  3. TOUGH TALK (IRE)
