Forecasts

Vaucelet (4/6), Billaway (10/3), Le Malin (7/1), Dento Des Obeaux (7/1), Shantou Show (15/2), Er Dancer (16/1), Russian Diamond (66/1), Rust To Riches (66/1)

Verdict

VAUCELET has the best form and arrives on the back of a solid showing at Punchestown, so he's preferred to recent Tipperary winner Shantou Show. Billaway is also likely to be involved if he keeps mistakes to a minimum.
