Forecasts

First Approach (6/4), Monbeg Worldwide (2/1), Ronald Pump (4/1), Cool Saint (5/1)

Verdict

Not entirely disgraced in a Grade 3 at Navan and a Grade 1 contest at Naas recently, FIRST APPROACH can add to his Down Royal hurdle win here, fighting off the expected challenge from the Gordon Elliott-trained Monbeg Worldwide.
  1. First Approach
  2. Monbeg Worldwide
  3. Cool Saint
