Forecasts

Ireland's Eye (3/1), Impressor (4/1), Zegos Surprise (4/1), Danah Star (17/2), One Last Hug (9/1), Rainbow Rain (9/1), Rajmeister (10/1), Hard Solution (12/1), Gran Roque (20/1)

ZEGOS SURPRISE arrives in form from AW and has been successful in the mud before so she's preferred to Declan Carroll's Ireland's Eye, who ran well in this race last year. The Ruth Carr team is among the winners so Hard Solution also makes the shortlist.
