Forecasts

Run For Pat (85/40), Sholsang (3/1), Kelly's Birr (7/2), Bout Time Bobby (13/2), Sleetansnow (14/1), Dovlator (16/1), So Ladylike (16/1), Knocky (18/1), Sixhandsinmypocket (20/1), Ask Philip (25/1), Every River (28/1), Copper Point (33/1), Hochtdeag (66/1)

Verdict

RUN FOR PAT could be hard to beat with a repeat of his Tipperary second. Sholsang is interesting, while So Ladylike brings recent winning point form to the table and might be in the mix for minor honours.

  1. RUN FOR PAT (IRE)
  2. SHOLSANG (IRE)
  3. SO LADYLIKE (IRE)
