Forecasts

Inn At The Park (7/4), His Nibs (9/4), Bleu De Vassy (4/1), Major Barry (7/1), Getamotive (12/1), Remember'hesmine (14/1), Black Heather (50/1), Champagne Kid (80/1)

Verdict

In the hope that conditions are not too testing, BLEU DE VASSY earns the vote. He didn't appear to get home upped to 2½m on deep ground at Leopardstown during the Christmas period, and he had previously shaped like a sure-fire future winner when runner-up in bumpers at Sligo and Fairyhouse. Getamotive made a promising start to his career when finding just one too good at Cork recently and he is next on the list ahead of the Willie Mullins-trained Inn At The Park.
