Forecasts

Betty Dutton (5/2), Butchers Bill (4/1), Karloss (9/2), Aleish Lass (6/1), Juniper Hill (8/1), Dunany Point (10/1), Royal Reprobate (10/1), Mighty Soldier (16/1), Wrecking Ball Paul (25/1), Handy Manny (25/1), Ennell Shadow (50/1), Standing Orders (66/1)

Verdict

A weak beginners chase that can see BETTY DUTTON make it second time lucky over fences with the emphasis back on stamina now. Aleish Lass might be the danger after her promising start in this sphere at Cork last year.
