Forecasts

Court Maid (15/8), Anything Will Do (9/4), Rapid Response (10/3), Somptueux (5/1), Aforementioned (6/1), Peaches And Cream (13/2), Champagne Beauty (14/1), Tickentwo (300/1)

SOMPTUEUX cruised clear in the style of a useful prospect at Navan 3 weeks ago and is narrowly preferred to Court Maid, who won impressively at Galway in July. Rapid Response has done little wrong since switching to the larger obstacles so also commands respect.
