Forecasts

Shantreusse (13/8), Chrissies Diamond (3/1), Gortmillish (3/1), Patricks Hill (5/1), Zakarov (5/1), Blazing Yeats (15/2), Hurlerontheditch (11/1), Grave La Klass (12/1), Big Bad Buzz (12/1), Ocovic (12/1), Armchair Farmer (16/1), All Thumbs Up (18/1), Mister O Reilly (20/1), Celestial Sky (22/1), Gallant Geronimo (25/1)

SHANTREUSSE has a promising bumper run under his belt and could be hard to beat if improving on that Navan effort. Chrissies Diamond is the obvious danger on paper. Gortmillish would warrant respect if getting a run.
