Iris Emery^t¹⁹

Majestic Force²⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mike O'Connor| T: H De Bromhead

£120,000 buy after running out a wide-margin winner on point debut and looked a useful prospect in following up in a 2½m Punchestown maiden. Solid fifth of 8 to Golden Ace in Dawn Run Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham (16.8f, soft). Interesting prospect now going over fences.

Form: 115-

Pitwood Road^b²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: John Shinnick⁽⁵⁾| T: T O'Brien

Fair winner at 17f over hurdles. Seventh of 12 in novice chase at Galway (22.5f, soft, 22/1) on debut over fences 28 days ago. More is needed.

Form: 6121-P7

Zenta²⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: J S McGarvey| T: W P Mullins| BF

Useful winner at 18f over hurdles. 8/13, respectable fourth of 14 in novice chase at Ballinrobe (17.1f, good). Off 6 months but remains with potential going up in trip.

Form: 31/337-4

Forecasts

Zenta (2/1), Majestic Force (7/2), Iris Emery (4/1), Goodie Two Shoes (4/1), Enjoy The Dream (8/1), Brucio (10/1), Ballycashin (14/1), Pitwood Road (33/1)

Henry de Bromhead's MAJESTIC FORCE was quick to show fairly useful form over hurdles and this excting points winner is taken to go in at the first time of asking over the larger obstacles. Willie Mullins' duo Iris Emery and Zenta can both have a say too and chase home the selection in that order.
