Forecasts

Doughmore Bay (11/8), Ikarak (11/4), Mullys Choice (7/2), Isle Of Gold (10/1), Kick Up A Storm (12/1), Diesel D'Allier (28/1), Outside Adesa (28/1)

Verdict

DOUGHMORE BAY got the better of Ikarak when they met here in May and, with this stiffer test likely to prompt improvement, Emma Lavelle's charge is taken to uphold that form. Ikarak has the advantage of a recent run under his belt and won't go down without a fight, while Mullys Choice and Outside Adesa, both of whom showed ability between the flags, need a close look in the betting. Kick Up A Storm is surely capable of better than he showed in a bumper last year and is not discounted.

  1. DOUGHMORE BAY (IRE)
  2. IKARAK (FR)
  3. MULLYS CHOICE (IRE)
