Forecasts

Black Tears (2/5), Great White Shark (7/4), Darrens Hope (4/1), Global Equity (6/1), Western Victory (9/1), Lunar Display (14/1), The Getaway Star (16/1), Miss Pernickety (33/1), Sweet Sting (50/1)

Verdict

This looks between useful pair BLACK TEARS and Great White Shark. The former seems to peak around this time of year so is taken to end Willie Mullins' recent domination of this race. Western Victory makes most appeal of the remainder.

  1. BLACK TEARS
  2. GREAT WHITE SHARK (FR)
  3. WESTERN VICTORY (IRE)
