Forecasts

Master Otis (11/8), Luckinthecity (11/8), Can't Resist It (3/1), Ally Kazoo (4/1), Plaisir Des Flos (9/1), Easy Peasy (12/1), Rodney (14/1), Dancing Dame (22/1), Thegraveyardbookie (22/1), Frost Fairy (40/1), Charlie Pops (80/1), Marksetgo (150/1)

Verdict

Those with racecourse experience don't set a tall standard so LUCKINTHECITY gets the nod to make a winning start for champion trainer Willie Mullins at the expense of Master Otis, who has acquitted himself well in all 5 starts in bumpers so far but was a bit below his best at Tipperary 2 weeks ago. Ally Kazoo and Plaisir des Flos can fight out third spot.

  1. LUCKINTHECITY
  2. MASTER OTIS (IRE)
