Forecasts

Ballyburn (10/11), Apple's Of Bresil (3/1), Slade Steel (6/1), Loughglynn (7/1), Dancing City (8/1), Better Days Ahead (8/1), Great Universe (14/1), Chosen Witness (16/1), Special Cadeau (25/1), Ask Anything (66/1), Cato's Revenge (80/1)

Verdict

Having won his only start between the flags, BALLYBURN made an excellent first impression under Rules when landing a bumper here a couple of months ago. With more to come, he looks the one to beat although stablemate Dancing City should provide formidable opposition. Slade Steel is another one to consider. Slade Steel is another one defending an unbeaten record, and he also merits respect.

  1. BALLYBURN (IRE)
  2. DANCING CITY (FR)
  3. SLADE STEEL (IRE)
