17/2

20/1, too free when seventh of 16 in handicap at Galway (11.8f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Now 3 lb below his last winning mark so looks competitive on form.

Forecasts

Future Romance (7/2), Ivy Avenue (11/2), Hidden Land (11/2), Made For Minds (6/1), Hurricane Alex (7/1), Alvaro (15/2), Kannoor (8/1), Pak Army (17/2), Mephisto (14/1), Duck And Vanish (18/1), Saeer (20/1), Clondaw Hollow (20/1), Mandarin Monarch (25/1), Petitioner (28/1), Acclamatio (33/1), Afternoonwithsusan (40/1), Willywampus (50/1)

An open-looking finale which can go to IVY AVENUE. Jim Bolger's filly ran a typically good race when third at Roscommon 10 days ago and she's taken to notch a fourth career victory from 1 lb below her last winning mark. Kannoor turned in her best effort of the season last week so she's feared most if building on that, ahead of Hurricane Alex and Pak Army.
