16/1

€3,000 3-y-o, Califet gelding. Dam point winner. In good hands so newcomer can't be ruled out. Worth a market check.

Form:

Gallic Boy²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Danny Mullins| T: J O Clifford

11/1

Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, caught the eye when fifth of 14 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, good) 25 days ago, not knocked about. Likely to do better still, and worth monitoring in the betting.

50/1

Mahler gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including temperamental but fairly useful hurdler/chaser Topsham Belle. Bred to be no back number. Market can prove a good indicator.

Form:

Skippin Court³⁸

7/4

Promising type. Third of 23 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, soft, 20/1) on NH debut 38 days ago, not knocked about. Should have more to offer, and firmly in the mix here.

Forecasts

Skippin Court (7/4), Choir Practice (7/4), Georgina Burgess (11/4), Spoiled Rotten (9/1), Patricks Hill (9/1), Gallic Boy (11/1), Drop The Harrow (16/1), One For Della (20/1), Ranger P (20/1), Knockiel Synge (22/1), Victura (25/1), Corkbeg (28/1), Lazy Susan (40/1), Aoibheann Na Ngall (50/1), Bernies Poet (150/1), Biscayne Boulevard (200/1)

CHOIR PRACTICE showed up well when fifth on her debut at Tipperary and that form makes her the one to beat here, especially with more improvement in the pipeline too. Punchestown debut third Skippin Court is another who looks to have better days ahead of him and he rates next best with Gallic Boy worth a second look too after his eye-catching Clonmel fifth.
