7/1

Useful form on Flat (stays 1¼m), won maiden/minor event in 2023, possibly amiss last time. Has been gelded and is a very interesting recruit to hurdling.

Forecasts

Miss Manzor (6/4), Ndaawi (10/3), Karia Des Blaises (7/2), Immutable (11/2), Trustyourinstinct (7/1), Nara (7/1), Jupiter Rock (100/1), Imadpour (100/1)

MISS MANZOR, a winner of her sole outing in France, wasn't seen to best effect in a steadily-run Grade 2 at Leopardstown on her stable debut 18 days ago and remains with plenty of potential, so she gets the nod, ahead of Trustyourinstinct, who's a very interesting hurdling debutant based on the level of form he's shown on the Flat. Ndaawi seems sure to build on his opening effort in this sphere and is also feared.
