Forecasts

Julies Stowaway (5/4), Fun Light (11/4), Ain't That A Shame (5/1), Homme D'Un Soir (6/1), Salt Wind (10/1), Buck's Billionaire (14/1), Coolbawn Lad (33/1), Hymie Weiss (150/1), Match My Fire (200/1), One Free Man (200/1), Ballydrummond (200/1), River Boy (200/1), Montrose Ave (200/1)

Verdict

Plenty with chances in an intriguing maiden hurdle but BUCK'S BILLIONAIRE made a pleasing return from a long absence when fifth here last month so gets the nod ahead of Fun Light who arrives on the back of an excellent reappearance second at Down Royal. Gordon Elliott holds a fine record in this contest so his progressive Homme d'Un Soir is not taken lightly either.

  1. BUCK'S BILLIONAIRE (FR)
  2. FUN LIGHT (FR)
  3. HOMME D'UN SOIR (FR)
