Forecasts

Ballyadam Destiny (10/11), Bal De Rio (7/2), Optional Mix (4/1), Decimation (7/1), Robinstown (8/1), Natural Breeze (25/1), Dark Voyager (33/1), Mr Bezi (40/1), Ganderstown (150/1)

Verdict

BAL DE RIO was second in this last year and can go one place better as he sets the standard on these terms. Stablemate Ballyadam Destiny and Optional Mix are a couple of the chief dangers on form but the betting could be revealing.

  1. BAL DE RIO (FR)
  2. BALLYADAM DESTINY
  3. OPTIONAL MIX (IRE)
