Forecasts

Olympy De Cerisy (11/10), Ballygunner Castle (5/4), Mr Dibbs (9/1), Silent Venture (16/1), Jericho Du Fenoir (16/1), Private Policy (18/1), Honky Tonk (66/1)

Verdict

BALLYGUNNER CASTLE found only a couple of stablemates too strong at Thurles in February and he's a strong fancy to open his account upped in trip at the expense of Olympy de Cerisy, who couldn't live with another Willie Mullins' runner last time but rates as the obvious threat. Private Policy looks best of the remainder.

  1. BALLYGUNNER CASTLE (IRE)
  2. OLYMPY DE CERISY (FR)
  3. PRIVATE POLICY (IRE)
