Forecasts

Leader D'allier (1/1), Blake (4/1), Le Labo (6/1), Too Bossy For Us (6/1), Koktail Brut (13/2), Heads Up (17/2), Murat (25/1), Ebony King (28/1)

Verdict

Willie Mullins tends to dominate this race so the vote goes to Punchestown maiden winner LEADER D'ALLIER, with Paul Townend seemingly preferring him to Supreme Novice sixth Too Bossy For Us. Heads Up and Le Labo are others likely to have a say.

  1. LEADER D'ALLIER (FR)
  2. TOO BOSSY FOR US (IRE)
  3. HEADS UP
