Forecasts

Gaucher (6/4), Al Gasparo (3/1), Gale Mahler (9/2), Le Coq Hardi (13/2), Instant Tendance (12/1), Jungle Cove (20/1), Napper Tandy (25/1), Evening's Empire (33/1)

Verdict

GAUCHER impressed when making the most of a good opportunity with a strong galloping display at Punchstown last month and looks well worth keeping on side now upped in grade. Al Gasparo is a credible rival having shown a similar level of form to the selection, while Le Coq Hardi and Gale Mahler are others to note in an interesting event.
