Forecasts

Burrows Saint (4/5), Scarpeta (10/3), Mary Frances (4/1), Dallas Des Pictons (8/1), Great Trango (25/1), Carrigeen Lactuca (400/1)

This likely revolves around the two returning smart hurdlers from the Willie Mullins yard, with SCARPETA selected over Burrows Saint to add to his 2018 win in this race. Dallas des Pictons was second in the 2019 Martin Pipe and would be a big player if anywhere near that form returning to the smaller obstacles.
