Forecasts

Verdict

MITCHOUKA won on stable debut for Geroid O'Loughlin earlier this month over C&D and can follow that success up in this contest. The former Gordon Elliott-trained six-year-old can hold off potential challengers in the shape of Kildorrery for the Ted Wash yard and Powersbomb who has been running well in defeat around the turn of the year. The J P McManus-owned pair Spades Are Trumps and Kitten Rock should not be underestimated.
  1. Mitchouka
