7/4
Useful Flat winner who posted his best effort over timber when second of 8 in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (16f, heavy, 4/1) 28 days ago. Hood now added for first time over jumps and holds obvious claims.

28/1

200/1
Fair hurdler. C&D winner. 25/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Naas (16f, good to soft) on debut over fences, tailed off when pulled up before 2 out. Off 12 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Up against it.

4/5
Won sole start in bumpers and progressed from debut in this sphere when landing 24-runner novice hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, soft, 11/8) 34 days ago. Should have more to offer yet.

Forecasts

Santo Sospir (4/5), Charlus (7/4), Baby Kate (6/1), Icare Desbois (28/1), Marlpark (200/1)

Verdict

Preference is for CHARLUS, who is still low mileage in this sphere and arrives on the back of a good second at Punchestown 4 weeks ago. The progressive Santo Sospir is the likeliest danger.

  1. Charlus7/4
  2. Santo Sospir4/5
  3. Baby Kate6/1
