Forecasts

Gaelic Warrior (4/11), Inothewayurthinkin (4/1), Cool Survivor (8/1), Senior Chief (9/1), Shanbally Kid (16/1), An Epic Song (18/1), Figaroc (40/1), Daily Present (100/1), Soldaro (125/1), Celebrating Katie (250/1), Bushmans Pass (250/1), One Horse Army (250/1)

Verdict

GAELIC WARRIOR landed 4 of his 5 starts over hurdles last term, runner-up in the Ballymore at Cheltenham prior to bagging Grade 1 glory himself here in April. An exciting prospect for his all-conquering yard, he looks the way to go on chase debut. Inothewayurthinkin and Cool Survivor, both of whom boast chase experience, rate the chief threats, with Senior Chief and An Epic Song others to keep an eye on.

  1. GAELIC WARRIOR (GER)
  2. INOTHEWAYURTHINKIN (IRE)
  3. COOL SURVIVOR (IRE)
