Forecasts
Fil Dor (8/11), Saint Roi (3/1), Hollow Games (9/2), Midnight Run (14/1), Visionarian (25/1)
On the face of it, SAINT ROI has plenty on his plate given that he was comprehensively outpointed by Fil Dor on his chase debut at Navan and meets that rival on just 2 lb better terms here. Conversely, he's entitled to come on for that run given that it was his first for 5 months, and the Willie Mullins yard has landed this prize 7 times since 2011. That said, Fil Dor is greatly respected and won't go down without a fight, while his stablemate Hollow Games is also a strong candidate.
