Forecasts

Super Bowl (2/1), Twobeelucky (9/2), First Class Ticket (9/2), Atlas (11/2), Its Only A Dream (11/2), Kalanisi Repre (6/1), Spin A Yarn (10/1), Off You Go (10/1), Frank Wilde (16/1), Officers Mess (18/1), Marino Marvel (33/1), Django Du Pecos (40/1), Turin Ranger (40/1), Mister Buddy (50/1), Smiling Emily (50/1), I'm Serious (50/1), Trenchtown Rock (66/1), Fianchetto (66/1), Dublin Road (100/1)

Verdict

FIRST CLASS TICKET ran well to finish fourth behind a useful Flat horse on his second start over hurdles at Punchestown last month and he is taken to defeat Super Bowl in this. The latter represents leading connections and while he showed only modest form on the Flat at two and three he is likely to prove better over hurdles. Of their rivals here second reserve Kalanisi Repre caught the eye on debut and is another to note.
  1. First Class Ticket
  2. Super Bowl
