Forecasts

Verdict

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and ALFALFA looks the way to go on the back of his very good recent Navan second. Super Cub rates a big threat now stepping up in trip, with Final Check and Slieve Bearnagh also firmly in the picture.

  1. ALFALFA (IRE)
  2. SUPER CUB
  3. FINAL CHECK (IRE)
