Forecasts

Kopek Des Bordes (4/6), Romeo Coolio (9/2), Workahead (15/2), William Munny (8/1), Salvator Mundi (14/1), Irancy (25/1), Tripoli Flyer (25/1), Karniquet (33/1), Karbau (40/1), Sky Lord (50/1), Funiculi Funicula (80/1), Tutti Quanti (125/1)

KOPEK DES BORDES stepped forward as expected from his hurdles debut success and looked something out of the ordinary in the process when a striking winner in Grade 1 company at Leopardstown in February. Open to further progress, he's fancied to provide the all-conquering Mullins' yard with their third victory in the curtain raiser since 2019. Romeo Coolio was similarly impressive when taking Grade 1 honours in December and he's feared most. Workahead and William Munny complete the shortlist.
