Forecasts

Coco Masterpiece (4/5), Ballygunner Castle (11/4), Fishery Lane (11/2), Ned In The Park (6/1), Le Grand Peinture (33/1), Nelson Muntz (50/1), Rodney (50/1), Dansanttothetune (66/1), Little Eddie (80/1), Helicon (100/1), Foildarrig (200/1)

Verdict

This seems almost certain to go to one of the Willie Mullins' trio, with 7-y-o COCO MASTERPIECE preferred to Ballygunner Castle and Fishery Lane before market clues. Ned In The Park shaped well first time up at Fairyhouse and is the clear pick of those with bumper form.

  1. COCO MASTERPIECE (FR)
  2. BALLYGUNNER CASTLE (IRE)
  3. FISHERY LANE (FR)
