Forecasts

Purple Mountain (5/6), Colonel Mustard (16/5), Longacre Square (11/2), Champagne Beauty (9/1), Three Thirds (12/1), Beeverstown Bullet (16/1), Fongs Way (18/1), It Could Be You (20/1), Allez Rock (25/1), Il Courra (25/1), The Auld Triangle (33/1), Hanoras Dream (66/1)

PURPLE MOUNTAIN failed to justify favouritism when fifth of 17 on debut at Punchestown on New Year's Eve but she still showed plenty to work on and appeals as the most likely winner. Longacre Square looks an interesting newcomer and may emerge as the biggest threat.
