Forecasts

Noon Blu Dodville (6/5), The Two Degrees (10/3), Ten Gears (5/1), Toll Road (15/2), Hansel The Purse (8/1), Hilarion (10/1), Burleigh Beach (22/1), Bay City Boy (22/1), One For Christy (66/1)

The market should prove highly informative but Emmet Mullins' Blue Bresil gelding NOON BLU DODVILLE is taken to make a winning start at the chief expense of Gavin Cromwell's Ten Sovereigns newcomer Ten Gears. Hansel The Purse, a Punchestown debut fourth and the only one with racecourse experience, and The Two Degrees also need factoring into this 3-y-o academy hurdle.
