Forecasts

Salamanca Bay (13/8), Whiskeywealth (9/2), Majavango (7/1), Rathgearan (10/1), Bridge Street (10/1), Old Soul (14/1), Barncroft (14/1), Miranda Priestly (14/1), Magnetic Pulse (16/1), Uncle Gerhard (18/1), Corbin (22/1), Problem Solver (28/1), Ocojohn (33/1), Royal Sage (33/1), Taxi Rank (33/1), Remembergenteljack (40/1), Champagne Izzy (50/1), The Niffler (80/1), Union Rock (200/1)

The one who makes most appeal is WHISKEYWEALTH, who was set to win comfortably when falling at the last on his Limerick hurdle debut in the spring and should be capable of showing a similar level of form with a recent run under his belt. Majavango and Salamanca Bay are considered the main threats.
