Forecasts

Al Mudhaffar (11/10), Theophilos (7/2), Cleopatra's Needle (4/1), Sea Eagle (6/1), Emeric (15/2), Magic Charm (8/1), Turbulence (10/1), Spy (20/1), Milteye (22/1), Belles Feuilles (40/1), True Statesman (50/1)

Verdict

Sole 3-y-o AL MUDHAFFAR surely has more to offer for his leading stable after only 2 starts and can prove too strong for his older rivals. Cleopatra's Needle has returned at the top of her game and will be a threat if this doesn't come too soon after Leopardstown on Friday. Paul Flynn's Emeric completes the shortlist.

  1. AL MUDHAFFAR (IRE)
  2. CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE (IRE)
  3. EMERIC (IRE)
