Forecasts

Riviere D'etel (1/4), Dancing On My Own (6/1), Embittered (13/2), Take All (14/1), Hurricane Georgie (14/1), Dreal Deal (18/1), Jacksons Gold (28/1)

Gordon Elliott has won 3 of the last 4 runnings of this and looks to hold a strong chance of another victory courtesy of RIVIERE D'ETEL, who was very impressive at Punchestown and should be hard to beat despite a penalty. Dancing On My Own is put up for the forecast spot.
