Forecasts

Gibraltar (85/40), Sheishybrid (9/4), Dark Voyager (11/4), Stellium (6/1), Lord Erskine (7/1), Tashi (10/1), Berkshire Royal (10/1), Jukebox Jive (11/1), Monas Melody (14/1), Vocito (16/1)

STELLIUM still has few miles on the clock and can race off the same mark as when a good Ballinrobe second (form been franked) so this course winner looks the way to go. Willie Mullins has a strong hand and his in-form duo Dark Voyager (second choice) and Gibraltar should ensure the selection doesn't have things all his own way.
