Forecasts

Forty Kay (5/6), Stede Bonnet (4/1), Shabra Diya (7/1), Cooladdi (17/2), Watch Hill (11/1), Kidam Roque (11/1), Flip Away (28/1), Mary Mammon (40/1), Groucho Max (50/1), Kalgoorlie Gold (100/1)

This will likely rest between likely-looking newcomer FORTY KAY and Stede Bonnet, who is the clear pick among those with experience under Rules on the back of his Kilbeggan debut second three weeks ago. He can be expected to make a bold bid to go one better, but Willie Mullins' record in bumpers speaks for itself and if Forty Kay is strong in the betting the hint should probably be taken. Shabra Diya is best of the rest.
