Forecasts

Mullins Cross (10/3), Young Fitzy (7/2), Getaway Master (4/1), Ivane (6/1), Kilashee (6/1), Chainofconsequence (9/1), Max Time (16/1), Healys Island (22/1), Oldtown To Emly (28/1), Shotgun Jack (40/1), Carslake (40/1)

Verdict

You have to go back to August 2021 for when MULLINS CROSS gained her sole success from 25 starts over hurdles, but she's been in good heart of late and looks ready to strike having found just one too good off this mark in a 15-runner Gowran handicap last week. Getaway Master's last two efforts have been his best to date and he is second choice ahead of Young Fitzy.

  1. MULLINS CROSS (IRE)
  2. GETAWAY MASTER (IRE)
  3. YOUNG FITZY (IRE)
