4/7

Improving chaser who is clearly better than her last race suggests when losing her action when over-reaching at the first at the Galway festival this month in a Grade 3 contest. Leading contender if recovered.

Forecasts

Robin De Carlow (4/7), Brahma Bull (5/2), Moon Over Germany (5/2), Westland Row (7/1), Father Jed (25/1), Rebel Turn (66/1)

The improving ROBIN DE CARLOW was quickly pulled up following a first fence overreach in a Grade 3 novice chase at the Galway festival earlier this month. Trainer Willie Mullins appears to have found an ideal opening for the daughter of Robin Des Champs to get back to winning ways here. The Henry De Bromhead gelding, Moon Over Germany, impressive winner of the Grade 3 Red Rum chase at Aintree in April can emerge as the biggest danger while Westland Row and Brahma Bull battle for the minor honours.
