Forecasts

Buachaillbocht (7/4), Power Hour (13/2), Jack Du Large (17/2), Rusheen (9/1), Jeriko De Baune (10/1), Ballycashin (11/1), Noble Talent (11/1), From The Ashes (14/1), Jasmin De Cotte (16/1), Lucky Two (20/1), He's Home Again (25/1), Howdoyalikeherhome (40/1)

Verdict

BUACHAILLBOCHT arrives on an upward curve and had more in hand than the winning margin suggests here a month ago, so she's fancied to go in again at the possible expense of Noble Talent, who also had something up his sleeve last time. Rusheen is another one worthy of consideration in a strong race for the grade.

  1. Buachaillbocht7/4
  2. Noble Talent11/1
  3. Rusheen9/1
