Forecasts

Aclass (10/3), Sheriffhill (4/1), Phoenix Cowboy (5/1), French Hill (13/2), Ar Nos Na Gaoithe (17/2), Tomjackwilliam (9/1), Voice Of Reason (14/1), Native Song (16/1), Simply Shabra (16/1), Ella Rose (18/1), Tir Og (20/1), Stone Forest (40/1), Siul Molly Siul (50/1)

Michael Winters tasted success in this race in 2023 and might do so again courtesy of PHOENIX COWBOY, who had his stamina stretched over just short of 3m last time and has dipped to a mark below 100 for the first time over hurdles. Aclass rates an obvious danger on the back of his good third at Gowran 3 weeks ago. Ar Nos Na Gaoithe also makes the shortlist.
