Forecasts

Saint Sam (6/5), Appreciate It (10/3), Journey With Me (4/1), Fil Dor (9/2), Espanito Bello (33/1), Rebel Gold (50/1)

Willie Mullins has landed four of the five previous running of this and SAINT SAM is taken to enhance that record. He barely broke sweat in the Red Mills Chase at Gowran last time and while the competition here is sterner, there could be better to come from this 7-y-o, who has won five of his seven completed starts over fences (the two defeats were in Grade 1 company). Stablemate Appreciate It is second choice ahead of Fil Dor and Journey With Me.
