Forecasts

She Is Electric (5/4), Beyond Ambitious (7/4), Inclusion (7/2), Still Ciel (4/1), Queens River (9/2), Hamartia (14/1), Truckers Angel (16/1), Just Hannah (25/1), Hi Ski (33/1), Foildarrig (33/1), Pulltheplug (50/1), Blossom De Mai (50/1), Roccos Inspiration (80/1), Beacon Street (125/1), Coco Lightning (150/1), Hollow Spark (150/1), Eclipseofardkilly (200/1), Henry's Girlie (200/1)

Verdict

STILL CIEL shaped quite nicely when second at Cork last month and might be up to going one better now. Bumper winner Beyond Ambitious made a satisfactory start over hurdles at Punchestown in the spring and is feared most ahead of last month's course runner-up She Is Electric.

  1. STILL CIEL (IRE)
  2. BEYOND AMBITIOUS (IRE)
  3. SHE IS ELECTRIC (IRE)
