Forecasts

O'Toole (4/1), Emancipator (9/2), Ramillies (5/1), Ballykeel (6/1), The Abbey (15/2), Gallant John Joe (8/1), Gateau De Miel (9/1), Routine Excellence (9/1), Birchdale (11/1), Egality Mans (12/1), En Beton (12/1), Everglow (14/1), Pat Coyne (14/1), Pont Aval (16/1), Definite Plan (25/1), Midnight Maestro (33/1), Go Another One (33/1), Influential Lady (33/1)

Verdict

BALLYKEEL was collared late at Punchestown last time but shaped as if comfortably ahead of his mark for most of the way, so he gets the narrow vote in this competitive event. Routine Excellence is a big danger and En Beton looks interesting back from an absence.

  1. BALLYKEEL (IRE)
  2. ROUTINE EXCELLENCE (IRE)
  3. EN BETON (FR)
