Covey (6/4), Just Bring It (11/2), James McHenry (6/1), Royal Cape (7/1), Gincident (12/1), Killybegs Warrior (14/1), Bodorgan (16/1), Defence Of Fort (16/1), Metal Merchant (22/1), Scholarship (33/1), Stormbuster (40/1)

Verdict

An opening mark of 90 could easily underestimate the very promising COVEY who can add to his 2 easy wins in maiden/novice company this spring. Clive Cox has won this race twice since 2018 and Just Bring It may provide the chief threat on the back of his fine second at Newmarket last weekend. James McHenry, a good winner over C&D a fortnight ago, and the unexposed Royal Cape complete the shortlist.

  1. COVEY
  2. JUST BRING IT (IRE)
  3. JAMES MCHENRY
