Forecasts

Corran Cross (15/8), Dublin Four (9/2), Gaelik Coast (9/2), Destrier (7/1), Barton Knoll (9/1), Shang Tang (12/1), Morning Vicar (14/1), Espoir De Teillee (25/1)

Verdict

DUBLIN FOUR produced a career best when resuming winning ways at Chepstow 3 weeks ago, crucially jumping much better, and may do better again after that confidence booster. In-form pair Corran Cross and Gaelik Coast should be on the premises again, while Shang Tang remains with potential in this sphere having made a winning chase bow 7 months ago.

  1. DUBLIN FOUR (IRE)
  2. CORRAN CROSS (IRE)
  3. GAELIK COAST (FR)
