Forecasts

Space Tourist (1/2), Down Around (4/1), Champagnesocialist (4/1), Princess Sophia (11/2), Legal Principle (20/1), Up For Appeal (22/1), Wee Monarch (28/1), King Otis (40/1), Knockwilliambridge (50/1), Storm Barra (50/1), Tick Tick Boom (66/1)

SPACE TOURIST appeals as a likely improver having joined the Willie Mullins stable and might ensure that Champagnesocialist has to settle for the runner-up spot again. Princess Sophia has been placed on a few occasions and looks best of the rest.
