Forecasts

Billaway (15/8), Vaucelet (9/4), Private Ryan (7/1), Shiroccosmagicgem (17/2), Battleoverdoyen (10/1), Gorthill (11/1), Perfect Pirate (18/1), Au Fleuron (25/1), Samurai Cracker (28/1)

Verdict

BILLAWAY was narrowly behind Vaucelet at Punchestown but is taken to turn the tables on David Christie's charge and land this race for the second year running. Recent Killarney third Shiroccosmagicgem may prove best of the remainder.
