Forecasts

Arcadian Emperor (2/1), Shuttle Diplomacy (11/4), Newbrook Diamond (3/1), Kilgame (5/1), Did I Ask You That (6/1), Genepi George (20/1), True Harmony (50/1), Le Roi Du Livet (100/1), Sharu (125/1), Embrace The Day (125/1), Regno (150/1), Walkingmayotomilan (150/1), Thankyouforthedays (200/1), The Fly Window (200/1), Patton (200/1), Rathbawn Soldier (250/1)

Verdict

The market should prove revealing here but Gordon Elliott's NEWBROOK DIAMOND brings some fairly useful form to the table and is taken to score at the chief expense of the Willie Mullins-trained pair Did I Ask You That and Arcadian Emperor who can chase him home in that order. Shuttle Diplomacy and Kilgame complete the shortlist.

  1. Newbrook Diamond3/1
  2. Did I Ask You That6/1
  3. Arcadian Emperor2/1
