Forecasts

Solitary Man (6/4), Lifetime Ambition (2/1), Journey With Me (11/2), Bartlemy Boy (8/1), What Path (14/1), Jetoile (14/1), Gin Coco (18/1), Tullybeg (25/1), Galon De Vauzelle (50/1), Headcorn (100/1), Fakiera (150/1), Ebenezer Scrooge (200/1), Pure Decent (200/1)

Verdict

JOURNEY WITH ME saw off 4 of these when scoring at Cork 5 weeks ago and is taken to follow up in the hope he stays this longer trip. Lifetime Ambition hit the frame in another major hunter chase at Punchestown and is feared most ahead of Gin Coco.

  1. JOURNEY WITH ME (IRE)
  2. LIFETIME AMBITION (IRE)
  3. GIN COCO (FR)
