2/1

Trustyourinstinct⁷⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Simon Torrens| T: J P O'Brien

Useful Flat winner who failed to impress with his head carriage once more when 12¾ lengths third of 4 to Bottler'secret in Winning Fair Juvenile Hurdle at Naas (15.6f, heavy, 11/4) 76 days ago. Obvious player down in grade, nonetheless.

Form: 43-

Voice Of Reason¹³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Jordan Gainford| T: G Elliott

17/2

Fairly useful up to 11f on the Flat when trained by G. M. Lyons but was easy to back and ran below that level sent hurdling at Limerick in December.

Forecasts

Trustyourinstinct (11/10), Palamon (2/1), Katakana (8/1), Voice Of Reason (17/2), Dutch Gold (10/1), Royal Reprobate (12/1), Rocket Ruby (12/1), Kilcrea Castle (16/1), Give Me A Smile (28/1), Bitofajokelike (33/1), Burren Breeze (33/1), Rhythm And Tyne (40/1), Happy Me (50/1), King In Love (66/1), Tamborasi River (66/1), Tannery Park (100/1), Kellys Grove (100/1), Star Of Mayo (125/1), Duchamps Art (150/1), Lynskey (200/1), Kir Royal Blou (200/1)

PALAMON got firmly back on track in a first-time tongue strap when runner-up at Limerick last month and is the percentage call to go one better. Trustyourinstinct has an iffy head carriage but is an obvious threat down in grade, while dual-bumper winner Katakana is well worth another chance having shaped as if amiss on her hurdling debut at Naas in January.
