Forecasts

Ash Tree Meadow (8/11), French Dynamite (5/2), Conflated (5/2), Saint Sam (11/4), Visionarian (10/3), Saint Roi (5/1), Solness (6/1), Espanito Bello (25/1)

Verdict

This represents a good opportunity for CONFLATED to get his head back in front, for all that the Willie Mullins-trained pair Saint Roi and Saint Sam will offer stern resistance. The selection hasn't managed to hit the target since landing the Savills Chase at Leopardstown in December 2022, but his last six starts (and 13 of his last 14 appearances overall) have been in Grade 1 company and he will appreciate this drop in class.

  1. CONFLATED (IRE)

  3. SAINT ROI (FR)
