Forecasts

Percy Warner (5/6), Rexem (16/5), Riaan (6/1), Skippin Court (9/1), Time Marches On (14/1), Midnight Our Fred (16/1), Flaming Moon (22/1), Tempo Chapter Two (33/1), Corkbeg (80/1), Automatic (125/1), Theblazen Queen (200/1)

Verdict

PERCY WARNER's stamina was stretched upped to 23.5f on deep ground at Navan when last seen in March and he may well open his chase account now back down in trip on better ground. Chase debutants Rexem and Riaan are both feared, particularly the former who scored twice over hurdles last summer and he was a winner of his sole start between the flags in 2021. Tempo Chapter and Flaming Moon are others to consider.

  1. PERCY WARNER (IRE)
  2. REXEM (IRE)
  3. RIAAN (IRE)
