Forecasts

Bapaume (9/4), Aux Ptits Soins (4/1), Not Many Left (11/2), Bacardys (8/1), Dortmund Park (8/1), Cracking Smart (8/1), Vision Des Flos (10/1), Unowhatimeanharry (16/1), Killultagh Vic (16/1), Prince Of Scars (66/1)

Verdict

A typically strong hand here for Willie Mullins, with three of the ten-runner field. With winning form at this meeting and a credible run behind Paisley Park at Cheltenham, Bapaume is the most appealing on current form. Killultagh Vic shouldn't be dismissed though Bacardys was very disappointing in this last year. He's come up short at this level before but AUX PTITS SOINS stormed home at Aintree last time to win a handicap and, with that career-best behind him, will surely not find a better Grade 1 opportunity. The progressive Not Many Left is much better suited back up in trip after a recent run at Fairyhouse.
