Forecasts

Verdict

Having scored at Galway and in this corresponding event last year, CURRENT OPTION gets the nod to repeat that feat and follow up just 6 days on from his latest Galway victory. The main danger could be Soul Search, who wasn't seen to best effect for the second time in a row at Fairyhouse last month, ahead of Quarantine Dreams and Erzindjan.
