Forecasts

Largy Hill (5/6), Monbeg Park (6/1), Senior Chief (6/1), Corbetts Cross (7/1), On The Tide (11/1), Doubtcha Mossy Boy (11/1), Transmission (12/1), Meetingofthewaters (12/1), Serious Operator (18/1), Samos Island (33/1), Joy Of Life (40/1), College Causeway (66/1)

SENIOR CHIEF opened his account at the second attempt in points and he's a full brother to a bumper winner, so he is preferred to Largy Hill, who has joined a top yard since his third on his sole run between the flags. Monbeg Park has achieved most of those with bumper form and may do better.
