Forecasts

Saint Calvados (5/2), Brelan D'As (5/1), Knocknanuss (11/2), Doitforthevillage (10/1), Marracudja (10/1), Mcgroarty (10/1), Master Work (12/1), Gino Trail (12/1), Duke Of Navan (16/1), Vaniteux (20/1), Northern Beau (40/1)

Verdict

Plenty of old favourites do battle here but it might be BRELAN D'AS who comes out on top and he is taken to build on the promising campaign he enjoyed last term. Top weight Saint Calvados is classy and tends to go well fresh so is a definite danger, as too is the in-form McGroarty. Old Gino Trail cannot be ruled out if responding positively to the first-time visor, while the youngster Master Work, and last year's runner-up Duke Of Navan will also give it a good go.
  1. Brelan D'As
  2. Saint Calvados
  3. Master Work
