Forecasts

Birdman Bob (5/6), Mi Sueno (9/4), Criquette (7/2), Tying The Knot (50/1)

Verdict

Andy Irvine won this race last year and his BIRDMAN BOB is the most solid option in a trappy finale. Criquette showed better signs with a visor added here last time and might be the one to follow the selection home.

  1. BIRDMAN BOB (IRE)
  2. CRIQUETTE (FR)
  3. MI SUENO (IRE)
