Forecasts

Apache Peak (2/1), Brady Hartsfield (9/4), Coole Cafe (7/2), Cinating (6/1), Rebel Getaway (10/1), Alberta Rose (12/1), Dreal Article (16/1), Ben Sawborne (33/1), Catofthecanals (40/1)

Verdict

The Naas bumper in which APACHE PEAK was outpointed by Coole Cafe developed into a sprint, a scenario that didn't favour Ross O'Sullivan's charge and, granted a stronger end-to-end gallop, the outcome may well be different this time. That said, Coole Cafe is clearly talented and merits the utmost respect, while Brady Hartsfield is another strong candidate on the back of his promising debut second at Punchestown. Cinating completes the shortlist.

  1. APACHE PEAK (IRE)
  2. COOLE CAFE (IRE)
  3. BRADY HARTSFIELD (IRE)
