Forecasts

Court Compliance (11/10), Boedic (15/8), Newbrook Diamond (7/2), Mossy Way (11/1), It's Tim (14/1), Thisain'tthat (50/1), Jack's Sister (50/1), The Ducks Walk (150/1)

Verdict

BOEDIC improved plenty on his opening effort over hurdles when third at Down Royal last month and with better to come, Willie Mullins' 5-y-o can go a couple of places better at the expense of Court Compliance who has shaped well in three consecutive runner-up finishes and may have to settle for silver again. Newbrook Diamond can have his latest effort excused and rounds off the shortlist.
