Forecasts

King Rasko Grey (8/13), Echoing Silence (6/1), Lord Byron (7/1), Kiely's Place (10/1), Saint Baco (12/1), Jalon D'oudairies (16/1), Kalypso'chance (25/1), You Proof (33/1), Bon Viveur (40/1)

Verdict

The tight grip held on this race by Willie Mullins in recent years looks set to continue with KING RASKO GREY's claims hard to ignore on the back of his decisive Cheltenham Festival success. Kiely's Place, one of 4 stablemates, is pretty promising and he gets the nod ahead of the 4-y-o Lord Byron for forecast purposes.

  1. KING RASKO GREY (FR)
  2. KIELY'S PLACE (IRE)
  3. LORD BYRON (IRE)
