Forecasts

Chart Topper (6/5), Apple's Of Bresil (5/2), Wild Mandate (10/3), Ocean Brew (7/1), Iamagetaway (12/1), Our June (12/1), Augusta George (40/1), Love Like This (80/1), Four Shares (100/1), Rebel Molly (200/1), Kilroe Champ (200/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but Willie Mullins' son of Walk In The Park CHART TOPPER shaped as though this longer trip would be to his benefit when a staying-on third in a big field at Punchestown last time so edges the vote. Ocean Brew should also be suited by this trip so could build on her Tramore fourth and emerge as the main danger. Recent course second Wild Mandate, the returning Apple's of Bresil and newcomer Our June command plenty of respect too.
