Forecasts

Noble Yeats (5/4), Rightplacerightime (13/8), Breakeven (15/8), Bleu Berry (15/8), Magic Daze (10/3), Rocky's Howya (11/2), Drifting Back (6/1), Zoffalee (12/1), Magic Sea (20/1), Thehairyfella (100/1)

Impressive on his hurdles debut at Navan in March, NOBLE YEATS is taken to make a winning start in this sphere, too. Emmet Mullins' charge shouldn't be unduly inconvenienced by this drop in trip and is likely to make his mark in graded company before long. Bleu Berry, who remains open to improvement over fences, and Magic Daze, a useful hurdler and former point winner, are the clear main dangers.
