Forecasts

A Dream To Share (8/11), It's For Me (9/2), Tullyhill (11/2), Western Diego (9/1), No Time To Wait (16/1), Rath Gaul Boy (20/1), King Of Kingsfield (28/1), Fascile Mode (50/1), A Piece Of Heaven (150/1)

Verdict

A DREAM TO SHARE had something to spare when landing the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and he's a fairly straightforward selection as he bids to take another Grade 1 event. Tullyhill was hugely impressive when making a successful Rules debut at Gowran, so he looks the main threat ahead of his stablemate Rath Gaul Boy, who was second the selection when last seen at Tipperary 11 months ago.

  2. TULLYHILL (FR)
  3. RATH GAUL BOY (IRE)
