14/1

Useful Flat winner and going the right way over hurdles, winning 14-runner maiden at Navan (15.7f, heavy) 28 days ago. Likely capable of better but a good deal more will be needed stepping up in class.

20/1

Forecasts

Mirazur West (4/6), Fun Fun Fun (9/4), Any Road (10/1), Undeniable Alibi (10/1), Helvic Dream (14/1), Mahon's Way (20/1), Kilbarry Saint (25/1), Catch The Beast (125/1)

Willie Mullins holds a strong hand in this Grade 3, with the exciting MIRAZUR WEST taken to get the better of the more established Fun Fun Fun. Undeniable Ali may prove best of the remainder.
