Forecasts

Backmersackme (3/1), Kurasso Blue (7/2), Iceberg Theory (13/2), Newton Tornado (13/2), Wade Out (10/1), One Big Bang (11/1), Holloway Queen (12/1), Grand Geste (14/1), Pic Roc (20/1), King Of Answers (22/1), Walking On Air (25/1), Union Station (28/1), Holokea (33/1), First Confession (33/1), Will Do (33/1), Guard The Moon (33/1), Silver Thorn (40/1)

Verdict

ICEBERG THEORY is taken to emerge on top in a fascinating finale with this marathon trip likely to play very much to the strengths of this son of Flemensfirth. Paul Nolan's 7-y-o hasn't been out since coming home very strongly to score over 2m5f at Cork in November and can improve again. Emmet Mullins' Leopardstown winner Backmersackme rates a big threat and the lightly-raced Kurasso Blue could bring up a 1-2-3 for Ireland. Newton Tornado rates the pick of the home runners.

  1. ICEBERG THEORY (IRE)
  2. BACKMERSACKME (IRE)
  3. KURASSO BLUE (FR)
