Forecasts

Gaelic Warrior (4/7), Fact To File (6/4), Grangeclare West (11/2), American Mike (16/1), Found A Fifty (33/1)

Verdict

Willie Mullins holds a strong hand and FACT TO FILE and Gaelic Warrior are hard to split. The former was so impressive here last time that he takes marginal preference, however, while Grangeclare West, another representative of the same stable, must be respected.

  1. FACT TO FILE (FR)
  2. GAELIC WARRIOR (GER)
  3. GRANGECLARE WEST (IRE)
