2/1

Won the Group 2 Railway and Group 1 Phoenix over 6f at the Curragh last season. Ended the year on a low note when 12½ lengths third of 4 to Henry Longfellow in National Stakes over 7f there but he's a potential cut above back sprinting on return.

Forecasts

Givemethebeatboys (5/4), Bucanero Fuerte (2/1), Military (15/2), My Mate Alfie (8/1), Jakajaro (14/1), Alabama (25/1), Majestic Beauty (33/1)

If BUCANERO FUERTE is still capable of the form he showed when an easy winner of the Group 1 Phoenix at the Curragh last summer he should have too much for this opposition. Givemethebeatboys had a couple of these behind him when scoring in listed company at Navan recently and is the obvious one to follow Adrian Murray's charge home.
