Forecasts

Run Wild Fred (8/11), Noble Yeats (15/8), Frontal Assault (5/2), Hurricane Georgie (11/2), Esthers Marvel (150/1)

Verdict

The tough and reliable RUN WILD FRED looks the way to go on the back of a solid reappearance second to stablemate Galvin in a Punchestown Grade 3. Though he fell in both the English Grand National won by the re-opposing Noble Yeats and the Irish equivalent during the spring, he's generally a good jumper. Noble Yeats ran poorly on return in France but, provided all is well, he is likely to emerge as the main danger ahead of the selection's stablemates Frontal Assault and Hurricane Georgie.

  1. RUN WILD FRED (IRE)
  2. NOBLE YEATS (IRE)
  3. FRONTAL ASSAULT (IRE)
