10/11

Promising points scorer who also won 7-runner novice hurdle (7/1) at Leopardstown (20f, heavy) on NH debut 19 days ago, cruising clear. Will take the beating.

125/1

Forecasts

Chapeau De Soleil (10/11), Twoohthree (10/11), Binge Worthy (20/1), Miss Vivacious (125/1)

TWOOHTHREE looked a good propsect when going in at the first time of asking at Leopardstown at the start of the month and Gordon Elliott's point winner can follow up. Chapeau de Soleil has better days ahead of him too and can chase him home ahead of Binge Worthy.
