Forecasts

Master Artist (11/8), Grange Walk (11/4), Dare To Flare (10/3), Lady Rocco (6/1), Longacre Square (22/1), Blue Ribbon (28/1), Dungans Well (33/1), Game Catch (50/1), Giftedtokate (66/1), Rebelle Chaud (66/1), High Glory (80/1), Time To Bite (80/1), Profound (80/1), Twentybore (150/1), Leading Line (150/1)

The finish is likely to be fought out by GRANGE WALK and Master Artist, both of whom went close in maiden hurdles at Kilbeggan and Clonmel respectively last time. The latter has progressed with each of his 4 starts in this sphere and is not passed over lightly, but Grange Walk had a couple of subsequents behind at Kilbeggan and is marginally preferred. Dare To Flare is best of the rest.
