Forecasts

Gee Rex (8/15), Hammersmith (4/1), Karla Martina (5/1), Clondaw Bertie (11/2), Pythion (16/1), We'll Go Again (16/1), Aboutagout (18/1), Karakhan (20/1), Ozark Pride (20/1), Fongs Way (28/1), Ferdia (33/1), Backing Band (50/1), Cast Iron (50/1), Sayesse (66/1), Mac Suibhne (80/1), Royal Gift (125/1), Cullaghs Star (250/1)

Verdict

GEE REX was well held on the Flat last month but had done well over hurdles prior to that so he gets the vote for the Emmet Mullins team. The likes of Karla Martina, Hammersmith and Clondaw Bertie can fight it out for minor honours.

  1. GEE REX (IRE)
  2. KARLA MARTINA (IRE)
  3. HAMMERSMITH (IRE)
