Forecasts

Verdict

Owner J P McManus appears to hold a strong hand in this contest. The solid and consistent DEMI PLIE can win a third career chase win here ahead of the improving Minella Times who has caught the eye in recent performances at Kilbeggan and when last seen at the Galway festival in August. Recent Sligo runner-up Lord Schnapps and the potentially progressive daughter of Stowaway, Make My Heart Fly can materialise as the biggest dangers.
