Forecasts

Tullyveery Lad (10/3), Paddys Planet (10/3), Sovereign Gold (4/1), Quantum Realm (11/2), Gateau De Miel (13/2), Shanavoun Lady (15/2), Skol (14/1), Billable Grant (25/1), Pegase Amour (66/1)

Verdict

PADDYS PLANET left his hurdles form behind when fifth on chase debut at Punchestown a fortnight ago and with further progress likely, he looks the one to beat. Sovereign Gold suffered a heavy defeat when last seen in March but is a massive threat if back on her game, with Gateau de Miel likely to be well prepared for this chase debut.
