Forecasts

Shadowfax Of Rohan (1/1), Bunker Bay (5/1), Breadalbane Lass (9/1), Defying Gravity (9/1), Canavan (9/1), Beat The Retreat (10/1), Justus (12/1), Game Beaaa (18/1), Storm The Dug (25/1), Malangen (25/1), Magic Gloves (25/1), Tigress Lilly (50/1), Gone With The Tide (66/1), Breaking Ground (66/1), Bray Dale (66/1), Sao Carlos (80/1)

Verdict

SHADOWFAX OF ROHAN has shown much improved form over fences since joining Patrick Neville, winning twice from 3 starts, and he can take advantage of his lower mark reverted to hurdles. Heading the list of dangers is Bunker Bay, who arrives on the back of his best effort in this sphere, with Beat The Retreat and Justus also considered.

  1. SHADOWFAX OF ROHAN (IRE)
  2. BUNKER BAY (IRE)
  3. BEAT THE RETREAT (IRE)
