Forecasts

Kellie's Dream (9/2), Clody Valley (9/2), A Mere Bagatelle (9/2), Trishknowsbest (7/1), Darkest Hour (7/1), Mater Matuta (15/2), I Am Spider Man (17/2), Der Mc (11/1), Gap Of Dunloe (11/1), Fair Minded (14/1), Karla Martina (14/1), Light Parade (18/1), Hollys Honour (18/1), Kalanisi Dubh (20/1), Out By Eleven (33/1), Ballycastle Brat (50/1), Money Heist (50/1), Guest (125/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for a few of these but smooth Bellewstown scorer MATER MATUTA gets the nod given she still looks handily weighted on her chase form despite taking a 4 lb rise. Darkest Hour is also weighted to have a say, with Kilbeggan third Kalanisi Dubh firmly in the picture too.

  1. MATER MATUTA (IRE)
  2. DARKEST HOUR (IRE)
  3. KALANISI DUBH (IRE)
