Forecasts

Royal Rendezvous (10/11), Easy Game (7/4), Put The Kettle On (9/4), Abbey Magic (15/2), Castlegrace Paddy (14/1), Hardline (22/1)

Verdict

ROYAL RENDEZVOUS showed high-class form when beating Easy Game in the Galway Plate in July and can make his mark back at this higher level. Champion Chase winner Put The Kettle On is an obvious threat despite making her comeback over a trip beyond her best.

  1. ROYAL RENDEZVOUS (IRE)
  2. PUT THE KETTLE ON (IRE)
  3. EASY GAME (FR)
