9/2
Course maiden winner in November. Disappointing when eighth of 11 in listed handicap hurdle (3/1) at Navan (20f, heavy) since but might be worth another chance with first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

3 wins from 7 runs this season. Third of 5 in minor event hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy, 5/1) 16 days ago, not knocked about. Back up in trip. Shortlist material.

7/1
Lightly-raced maiden. Fine third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24f, soft, 5/1) 23 days ago. Likely to give another good account.

13/2
Course winner. Winner in hurdle here in December. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, soft, 12/1) 38 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive.

13/2
Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 5/2, fell fifth in handicap hurdle at Thurles (15.6f, heavy) 15 days ago, going in snatches. Up in trip. Respected, particularly if the betting vibes are strong.

2/1
5/2, career best when winning 17-runner handicap hurdle at this course (16.2f, soft) 21 days ago, comfortably. Back up in trip. 9 lb higher in a stronger race now but he's heading in the right direction.

Forecasts

Morricone (2/1), Shannon Royale (9/2), Petit King (13/2), Fiveonefive (13/2), Intent Approach (13/2), Prince Palace (7/1), Chosen Thyme (10/1), Sign From Above (16/1)

Verdict

SHANNON ROYALE failed to do himself justice when joint-favourite for a good-quality handicap at Navan last time but had been progressive prior to that, including a course maiden win, and is given another chance in first-time blinkers. Prince Palace made a solid start to his handicap career when third at Fairyhouse last month and is feared most unless the market vibes are notably strong surrounding Intent Approach.

  1. Shannon Royale9/2
  2. Prince Palace7/1
  3. Intent Approach13/2
