14/1

16/1, returned to form from out of the blue to finally get off the mark impressively in 19-runner handicap at Navan (10f, good) 13 days ago. 7 lb higher but merits consideration given the manner of victory.

Forecasts

Faro Island (7/4), Gotta Catch'em All (5/1), Venetian (15/2), Cala Bonita (9/1), Hasten Slowly (10/1), Explorers Way (11/1), Thegooseiscooked (12/1), Harseva (14/1), Glyde Ranger (20/1), Anjah (20/1), Baron Blake (20/1), Share The Treasure (25/1), Alumni Lia (25/1), Cherry Pink (28/1), Cowzer Soze (33/1), Royal Cave (33/1), Portmagee (33/1)

HARSEVA had more in hand than the winning margin implied when getting off the mark at Navan earlier in the month, so Patrick Magee's 5-y-o gets the vote to go in again at the expense of Explorers Way, who took a step back in the right direction when sixth in the same race and has been dropped another 2 lb since. Cala Bonita and Thegooseiscooked are another couple to consider, too.
