Forecasts

City Island (1/5), Chavi Artist (9/2), Seeyouinvinnys (12/1), The Echo Boy (14/1), An Fraoch Mor (16/1), Doyen's Diva (50/1), Farranreigh (50/1), Edelweis De L'aube (50/1), Cadougarde (50/1)

Verdict

In honesty this looks a penalty kick for Ballymore Novices hope CITY ISLAND who won a strong contest at Leopardstown latest and he would be unbeaten over hurdles but for a positive test. Chavi Artist ran well last time and receives 7lb from the selection which helps. Hurdles newcomer An Fraoch Mor could be an each-way play to run into third.
  1. City Island
  2. Chavi Artist
  3. An Fraoch Mor
