Forecasts

Saint Baco (7/4), Sortudo (3/1), Classical Creek (9/2), Lord Rouge (8/1), I'll Sort That (8/1), Fruit De Mer (16/1), Switch From Diesel (20/1), Letos (33/1), Kovanis (33/1)

Verdict

Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott tend to dominate this Grade 1 novice, with the former's SORTUDO getting the nod on the back of his impressive hurdle debut success at Cork 6 weeks ago. Classical Creek is another who looked the part when winning his sole hurdle and is second choice ahead of I'll Sort That.
