Forecasts

Skipper (13/8), Dashing Darcey (5/2), Whiskey Pete (10/3), Rhoscolyn (5/1), Earls (13/2), Raadobarg (7/1), Navagio (17/2), Spirit Catcher (16/1), Flying Finn (18/1), Sceptic (200/1)

Verdict

Course-winner EARLS didn't get the rub of the green at Galway but may well have been targeted at this contest by his excellent handler and remains feasibly treated. He can land the opener. Skipper is low mileage and will be dangerous if handling the likely slow conditions, whilst Whiskey Pete and Rhoscolyn are also much respected.
