Forecasts

Barrier (30/100), Malbay Madness (7/2), Grann's Boy (16/1), Oh So Charming (20/1), Kilcrea Castle (20/1), Shahbaz (22/1), Happy Me (33/1), Alright George (33/1), Halla Paroiste (40/1), Cape Bridgewater (66/1), Star Of Mayo (66/1), Kartel And Co (66/1), Dumb Love (80/1), Saidekelly (100/1), Pebble To A Pearl (100/1), Avandra (250/1)

BARRIER finished placed in a couple of juvenile contests at the beginning of 2024 and a repeat of that level will see her hard to beat. Malbay Madness was a different proposition on second hurdles start at Cork 3 weeks ago and is clear-second choice.
