Forecasts

Cappucino (10/11), The Mediator (11/8), Silas Marner (9/1), Nelson Muntz (10/1), Colonel Nelson (16/1), Another Glendaars (80/1), Royal Noble (200/1), Hurricane Joey (200/1), Darcys Song (200/1), Barney Van Winkle (250/1)

Verdict

THE MEDIATOR is running consistently well, and this looks a golden opportunity for Gordon Elliott's 7-y-o to belatedly open his account at the expense of Cappucino, who was allowed the run of the race when getting off the mark on reappearance in a Listowel bumper recently and now has another crack over obstacles. Silas Marner and Nelson Muntz are another couple of interest.

  1. THE MEDIATOR (IRE)
  2. CAPPUCINO (IRE)
  3. SILAS MARNER (IRE)
