Forecasts

Law Ella (11/10), Ottizzini (11/4), Smooth Player (3/1), Crumb Of Comfort (10/1), Marronstown (20/1), Golden Nugget (22/1), Calazure (50/1), Bective Bridge (100/1), Lucky Two (100/1), Any Luck Colm (200/1), Assume Nothing (200/1), Jimli's Cave (250/1), Our Jervis (250/1)

Verdict

LAW ELLA impressed with the way she travelled at Punchestown last time and can make it fifth time lucky over hurdles, perhaps at the main expense of Ottizzini who acquitted herself well in listed company last time. The shortlist is completed by Gordon Elliott's Navan runner-up Smooth Player.

  1. LAW ELLA (IRE)
  2. OTTIZZINI (IRE)
  3. SMOOTH PLAYER (IRE)
