Forecasts

Farland (15/8), Monty Bodkin (3/1), Jaccours (10/3), The New Lion (5/1), Union Avenue (6/1), Disco Annie (14/1), Gamesters Guy (16/1), Boundary Jack (40/1)

Verdict

FARLAND has been acquired by Paul Nicholls since shaping well at Punchestown first time out and, with plenty of improvement expected, he's fancied to open his account at the possible expense of Monty Bodkin, who also made a promising start. The New Lion is an interesting newcomer on paper.

  1. FARLAND (IRE)
  2. MONTY BODKIN (IRE)
  3. THE NEW LION
