Forecasts

Kaiser De Chanay (11/8), Drombane (10/3), Lord Of The Locke (4/1), Keep Em Quite (15/2), Lunar Majesty (9/1), Fabhcun (14/1), Wildhorserider (28/1), Deebert (28/1), Lord De Choisel (66/1), Courageous Cleo (100/1), Sam's Favourite (200/1), Shine Bright (250/1)

Verdict

KAISER DE CHANAY split a pair of next-time-out winners when fifth at Navan in January provided he's able to put a lesser effort behind him since, Martin Brassil's 6-y-o gets the nod over Lord of The Locke, who shaped better than the distance beaten suggested at Punchestown 6 weeks ago and market support should be noted. Fabhcun and Drombane round off the shortlist.

  1. KAISER DE CHANAY (FR)
  2. LORD OF THE LOCKE (IRE)
  3. FABHCUN
