Forecasts

Mullaghboy (1/1), Mamoo (3/1), Astrum (13/2), Lightentertainment (8/1), Elysian Prince (12/1), Clay Allison (16/1)

Mullaghboy scored here last time and will be popular under the champion jockey but he's far from a certainty and is likely to be sent off at prohibitive odds, so it could be best to look for some value. MAMOO ran well enough tackling this trip for the first over C&D recently and will perhaps build on that now, with every chance that he can improve if taking a more prominent role in the early skirmishes. Lightentertainment is well capable off his current mark while Astrum has been running well recently without getting his head in front and should be involved when it matters again.
