Forecasts

Native Script (7/4), Choungaya (15/8), Little Nugget (7/1), Kilbarry Way (7/1), Dancing In The Sky (9/1), Whiskeys Brother (20/1), Cusp Of Carabelli (66/1), Take Five (80/1)

Intriguing closing contest where the experience of the Joseph O'Brien-trained CHOUNGAYA can build on a 1½L defeat in a bumper here last month finishing second behind a Willie Mullins favourite. Native Script for the Jim Bolger yard, the mount of Patrick Mullins is an interesting contender, along with the Willie Mullins newcomer Little Nugget who is worthy of consideration.
