7/1
Useful Flat winner. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. 10/1, second of 20 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16f, soft) 59 days ago. Going the right way and Flat form gives him scope for further improvement.

Forecasts

Goven (8/11), Ballykeel (9/2), Gatsby Grey (5/1), Bold Approach (7/1), Ferdia (18/1), Titan Jack (300/1)

Verdict

Dual bumper winner GOVEN was impressive in getting off the mark at this course 47 days ago and is well worth a chance to follow up for all Ballykeel and Bold Approach are both open to further improvement in their own right.
