Forecasts

Master Malachy (5/6), Cool Country (6/5), Casamari Abbey (8/1), Presenting Dylan (14/1)

MASTER MALACHY went in at the first time of asking over fences at Bangor and is hard to oppose with more to come from this likeable 6-y-o. Cool Country can boast a C&D win and rates the chief threat ahead of Irish-challenger Presenting Dylan.
