Saint Sam (1/1), Meet And Greet (10/3), Blazing Khal (5/1), Delta Work (9/1), Beacon Edge (14/1), Grand Roi (14/1), Sire Du Berlais (28/1), Dreal Deal (33/1), Highland Charge (50/1)

Verdict

SAINT SAM remains with unfinished business over hurdles and is fancied to follow up his Punchestown victory 43 days ago. Meet And Greet is a danger and Delta Work should give another good account.

  1. SAINT SAM (FR)
  2. MEET AND GREET (IRE)
  3. DELTA WORK (FR)
