Forecasts

Ben Button (8/11), Kilganer Queen (9/1), Vanishing Point (10/1), Akorakor (10/1), The King Of Brega (11/1), Weather Watch (12/1), Cairnshill (14/1), Little Haarth (16/1), Russian Regent (16/1), Coldstonesober (16/1), Deputy's Pass (20/1), Mister First (33/1)

Verdict

It would hardly be the biggest surprise to see Ben Button leave his previous form behind now he's joined the Willie Mullins yard, but there is a query over the ground, which is likely to ride on the quick side if the forecasts are right. Preference is for bottom weight CAIRNSHILL, who clearly stays well and should be spot-on fitness wise now. Vanishing Point is still young enough to improve and may get in the money. The likes of Russian Regent and Deputy's Pass are worth keeping an eye on with a view to races in the near future.
  1. Cairnshill
