4/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Excellent third of 13 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 27 days ago. May well do better still, so definite claims.

5/1

Fair maiden on the Flat. Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 16 in juvenile hurdle (28/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) 75 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. One to consider off appealing opening mark.

Forecasts

Magnor Glory (7/2), Master Cornwall (4/1), Outside The Door (5/1), Vischio (5/1), Still Alive (8/1), Elite Des Mottes (10/1), Edmond Dantes (11/1), Darkened (14/1), Slainte And Thanks (16/1), Datsdacraic (16/1), Monatierna (25/1), Molly Fantasy (25/1), Stoughan Cross (28/1), Missy Eliot (40/1), Bader (150/1)

MASTER CORNWALL arrives on the back of an excellent third at Tramore on handicap debut and looks the most straightforward choice in a handicap hurdle lacking in depth. Handicap debutants Datsdacraic and Vischio are expected to do better, so they warrant consideration and Edmond Dantes would be a big player if he got in (currently first reserve).
