I don’t have the final declarations for these races, so some picks may not be running. In most races, I made multiple picks of horses I have been following.
Look for horses trained by Willie Mullins; he has been on a hot streak all winter. Also, please closely examine the Irish horse’s form, as they tend to win many races at this festival.
Some horses are crossed-entered. I put it in my preferred race pick.
