15/2
First run since leaving Patrick T. Foley when respectable fifth of 18 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16f, good to soft, 3/1) 16 days ago, barely adequate test. Cheekpieces on for 1st time and this trip slightly more suitable.

Progressed again when very good second of 14 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Wexford (16f, good to soft) 26 days ago, just failing. Has to be taken seriously.

50/1
Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. Tenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (7f, 16/1) 15 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Makes handicap hurdle debut and big step forward needed.

18/1
C&D winner. 10/1 and blinkered/tongue strap on for 1st time, bit below form ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good). Off 7 months but possibilities on the pick of his form.

Forecasts

Imadpour (7/4), Next Stop Paris (2/1), Cleopatra's Needle (4/1), Howdoyalikeherhome (15/2), Applejack Poet (18/1), Arch Hall (28/1), Zero Fighter (50/1)

Verdict

IMADPOUR is going the right way and looked a little unfortunate not to win at Wexford last time, so he's an appealing candidate. Cleopatra's Needle returned to form with a good second at Fairyhouse last week and can pose the main threat.

  1. Imadpour7/4
  2. Cleopatra's Needle4/1
  3. Applejack Poet18/1
