Forecasts

Power Of Pause (9/4), Slige Dala (11/4), Smokey The Bandit (7/2), Camp David (9/2), Definite Katie (13/2), Visionarian (10/1), Gearoid (50/1), Aragon (50/1), Fill The Tank (66/1), I Don't Get It (100/1), Champagne Monarch (125/1), Wake The Giant (150/1)

A race that boast a couple of interesting outsiders in the Joseph O'Brien-trained Slige Dala, the gelding, Visionarian for trainer Peter Fahey and the daughter of Shirocco, Definite Kate. But the race should be between the Gordon Elliott-trained Smokey The Bandit, under jockey Jamie Codd on debut who can give POWER OF PAUSE the most to think about for trainer/jockey combination of Willie and Patrick Mullins.
