6/1
Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (12f, 5/1) 12 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles and he's worth considering.

Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Fairly useful winner on the Flat. Blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 16-runner novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19.3f, good, 15/8) 10 days ago. Big player.

150/1
First run since leaving John Joseph Murphy when ninth of 12 in handicap (15/2) at Cork (10f, soft). Off 7 months ahead of this hurdles debut and she's not easy to make a case for.

Forecasts

Palm Beach (10/11), Bigz Belief (9/2), Josh D'id (5/1), Clever Currency (6/1), Buzz Light (14/1), Varna Gold (14/1), Ahaziah (16/1), Martha's Vineyard (150/1), Ashtarak (250/1)

Verdict

Ready preference is for PALM BEACH, who hit the crossbar on each of his first 3 starts in this sphere and deservedly went one better back from a break with blinkers enlisted at Kilbeggan 10 days ago. An easy winner of his sole start in France, Josh D'id didn't shape badly on debut for new yard at Fairyhouse in January and is almost certainly capable of better. Clever Currency is best of the rest.

  1. PALM BEACH (IRE)
  2. JOSH D'ID (FR)
  3. CLEVER CURRENCY (IRE)
