Forecasts

Ballyvic Boru (4/7), Play The Game (10/3), Thahab Ifraj (5/1), Sense Of Urgency (7/1), Devito'sgoldengirl (12/1), Dance Rock (25/1), Barney's Caulker (50/1)

This is quite a decent race of its type for the time of the year and the ex-decent Flat performer Play The Game has to be of interest given the rating he achieved in that sphere but he does have to overcome an absence here and that may hand the advantage to BALLYVIC BORU. He also makes his hurdles debut having shown some useful bumper form and Tom Scudamore takes the ride for the first time. Thahab Ifraj comes into the equation but may be better off in handicaps with Dance Rock and Sense Of Urgency worth watching for the future.
