5/2

1,750 gns Pillar Coral half-brother to fair hurdler Fourtowns. Sent off 125/1 but showed a fair bit of ability when third of 16 in Bellewstown bumper on debut last month, taking a keen hold. That's the best form on offer.

Hot Rock Harry (2/1), Mr Enigma (5/2), Appy Ways (3/1), Inishtearaght (11/2), Confidence Within (10/1), Srah (33/1)

APPY WAYS is from a successful family her yard knows well and is taken to emulate her half-sister Appy Getaway by making a winning start. Mr Enigma is pick of those with experience, though Inishtearaght is clearly thought capable of better.
