Forecasts

Battleoverdoyen (11/10), Politesse (9/4), Agusta Gold (9/2), Waitnsee (8/1), Peregrine Run (10/1), Doctor Duffy (11/1), Snugsborough Benny (33/1), Dawn Raider (40/1)

Verdict

POLITESSE resumed her progress upped in trip back in handicap company at Roscommon last time, impressing with the way that she jumped/travelled through the race as she scored with a fair bit in hand. Given the manner of her victory she can go on to follow up in this event, with last year's winner of the race Battleoverdoyen feared most ahead of Agusta Gold for Willie Mullins.

  1. POLITESSE (IRE)
