Forecasts

Sortudo (15/8), Classical Creek (3/1), Saint Baco (9/2), I'll Sort That (5/1), Fruit De Mer (11/1), Switch From Diesel (20/1), Letos (22/1), Frankie John (28/1), Lord Rouge (33/1), Kovanis (80/1)

Verdict

Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott tend to dominate this Grade 1 novice, with the former's SORTUDO taken to build on his easy hurdle debut success at Cork, despite the fact Paul Townend looks elsewhere. Classical Creek also created a good impression when winning at Navan on his first start over hurdles and is second choice ahead of I'll Sort That.
