Forecasts

Mister Twist (5/4), High City Roller (9/4), Alvarez Eclipse (5/1), Dylan's Day (13/2), Drumcliff Bay (17/2), Glendars Mahler (9/1), El Champo (11/1), J'adore Chas (18/1), Nevermindestranger (20/1), Billy Hyatt (22/1), Alkajack (33/1), Shesdoenwell (50/1), Lucky Two (100/1)

Verdict

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and form pick MISTER TWIST is fancied to gain a deserved first victory on the back of some good recent efforts. Wexford runner-up HIgh City Roller is feared most on his yard debut ahead of Dylan's Day and J'Adore Chas who can fight it out for minor honours.

  1. MISTER TWIST (IRE)
  2. HIGH CITY ROLLER (IRE)
  3. DYLAN'S DAY (IRE)
