Forecasts

Bellaney Lord (6/4), Sir Argus (11/4), The Last Mardi (11/2), Monrocher (13/2), A Million Bucks (10/1), Itso Vango (16/1), Snow Secret (25/1), Galmar (28/1), Shandancer (66/1), Topothelane (80/1), Hunters Song (125/1), Rock On Bundee (125/1)

Verdict

The betting should reveal plenty, but SIR ARGUS showed enough for Willie Mullins when fourth on his debut at Naas to suggest he can build on that and open his account here. Gordon Elliott's debutant The Last Mardi is feared most, especially if the market speaks in his favour, while Bellaney Lord has the form to play a part too despite his absence from the track.

  1. SIR ARGUS
  2. THE LAST MARDI (IRE)
  3. BELLANEY LORD (IRE)
