Forecasts

Jawbox (11/10), Big Jim Dwyer (5/1), Elusive Specimen (8/1), Train Hill (9/1), Blackpoint (12/1), Kamikaze Kid (14/1), Biscayne Boulevard (25/1), Not Too Bad Jr (25/1), Rodgers Park (28/1), Back O' The Net (33/1), Batty Brennan (33/1), Hihoharry (50/1), Twentybore (50/1), Soccerbox (50/1), Claude Greengrass (66/1), Allez Rouge (150/1)

With the lack of a Willie Mullins runner in the line-up it may be left to the trainer and jockey combination of Gordon Elliott and Jamie Codd to fire in the last winner of the day with JAWBOX. The Rip Van Winkle gelding can land the spoils in the finale' ahead of Biscayne Boulevard who has Patrick Mullins on board, with Kamikaze Kid for trainer Charles Byrnes and Elusive Specimen who cost €23,000 as a three-year-old looking the best of an ordinary looking bunch.
