I Am Mimi (6/4), Leitzel (9/2), Avalo (9/2), Moonlight Jazz (9/2), Bodybuilder (9/1), Hardy Diamond (14/1), Val Venus (14/1), Olivine Queen (16/1), Janus Bede (16/1), Fremantle Doctor (18/1), Be Fierce (22/1), Silent Dawn (22/1), Granda George (33/1), Mullanour (40/1), Kinnagrelly Boy (50/1), Forever Wild (66/1), What's Lariat Now (80/1), Manhattan Brook (125/1)

Verdict

MOONLIGHT JAZZ is taken to build on his improved fourth at Cork last time and strike for the Henry de Bromhead/Rachael Blackmore combination. Leitzel has been placed on all 3 starts since switching to hurdles and should figure prominently again, while I Am Mimi has achieved enough in bumpers to think he could make his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling.

  1. MOONLIGHT JAZZ
  2. LEITZEL
  3. I AM MIMI (FR)
