Forecasts

Youmdor (11/4), Sionnach Eile (7/2), Stellium (7/2), Only Sky (13/2), Kodiac Prince (17/2), Coeur d'Or (17/2), Burren Song (11/1), Son Of Hypnos (22/1)

Verdict

KODIAC PRINCE has been shaping up quite well lately and might be the answer from a mark which has come down 7 lb since the start of the season, although strong market confidence behind the Willie Mullins-trained Youmdor back on the Flat after an absence would put a different slant on things. Last year's winner Only Sky also makes the shortlist.

  1. KODIAC PRINCE (IRE)
  2. YOUMDOR (FR)
  3. ONLY SKY (IRE)
