Forecasts

Don't Touch It (6/4), Third Opinion (9/2), Elusive Ivy (11/2), Prickly (7/1), Hurricane Ben (8/1), Three Stars (8/1), Catalaunian Fields (8/1), Lip Service (10/1), Neverushacon (16/1), Cassells Rock (25/1)

Verdict

DON'T TOUCH IT shoulders top weight for this handicap debut but it may be merited. He won nicely at Thurles in February over fences and his second-place finish behind Great Field since is not viewed as a negative given that rival has scored again since and looks plenty talented. A Grade One winner over timber, the selection should hold these on talent and can take the prize. Three Stars is also interesting having been severely tested at the top level in his two most recent starts while Prickly is likely to maintain his record of hitting the frame in each of his chase runs to date. Third Opinion defied a long absence when winning at Clonmel recently and Gordon Elliott's charge is in the mix here.
  1. Don't Touch It
  2. Three Stars
  3. Prickly
