Horse A-Z
Twice-raced maiden. Booked for second when unseating last on Cork debut. Suffered the same fate at Navan 13 days later. The form he was in the process of showing at Cork makes him the one to beat but comes with risks.

Forecasts

Ritz Plan (13/8), I'm All In (2/1), Ann Bulkley (7/1), Rosarian (10/1), O'grady Cracker (10/1), Ailbhes Gift (14/1), Little Bonnie (16/1), Kilbarry Alexy (20/1), The New Blue (25/1), Hunting Gold (25/1), Eitilt (50/1), Miners Cabin (66/1), Datzdjazz (66/1), Trocadero Trouble (66/1), It's Bobsled Time (150/1)

Verdict

RITZ PLAN might be a more solid option than I'm All In, who likely has the ability to win a race like this but a couple of non completions make him a risky proposition. Newcomer O'Grady Cracker and Ciaran Murphy's Ann Bulkley are others who could have a say.
