Betting Forecast

33/1 Coolshine, 5/1 Divine Believer, 33/1 Mare Crisium, 10/1 Aquilla Star, 12/1 Spring Sprinter, 10/1 Nephin Mountain, 25/1 Curious Jane, 5/1 Connova, 20/1 Music And Song

Non-runners

Werifesteria, John La Bear, Private Larry, Six Wings

Verdict

Not many of these make much appeal. Potentially interesting is the Colin Keane-ridden Divine Believer, while John La Bear will come on for his recent effort. Private Larry is poorly drawn back in trip, but showed what he was capable of at Bellewstown. The 11lb rise for that is another obstacle to overcome. A sporting selection is NEPHIN MOUNTAIN, whose fourth over a similar trip at Leopardstown on fast ground looks good in the context of this race with a decent 7lb claimer on board. Connova appeals also. [Justin O’Hanlon]
