Forecasts

Any Biscuits (11/8), Mactavish (9/4), Don Rafael (5/2), Limerick Leader (9/2), Ikigai Star (5/1), Leave Her To Me (14/1), Gillespie Road (40/1), Just Go For It (50/1), To Be Sure (50/1), Eagle Court (66/1), Great Threat (100/1)

Verdict

ANY BISCUITS is in excellent hands and boasts an upwardly mobile profile, so he gets the nod over the in-form Don Rafael. Limerick Leader was an impressive winner on his final outing for Olly Murphy and shouldn't be ruled out on debut for a smaller yard.
