Forecasts

Linden Arden (8/11), All For Rachel (5/1), Chiefs Kingdom (7/1), Pirate Island (9/1), Ebenezer Scrooge (9/1), Magic Sadler (11/1), Tramps Like Us (25/1), Falcon Park (125/1)

Verdict

LINDEN ARDEN couildn't make a winning start for Willie Mullins when sixth at Leopardstown but went too freely after an absence there and remains one to be interested in for his new handler. Pirate Island and Chiefs Kingdom both arrive in good order and can chase home the selection in that order.

  1. LINDEN ARDEN (IRE)
  2. PIRATE ISLAND (IRE)
  3. CHIEFS KINGDOM (IRE)
