Forecasts

Prince Zaltar (11/4), Secrecies Of Stone (4/1), A Wave Of The Sea (11/2), Clonbury Bridge (13/2), Western Model (8/1), Nephin Beg (9/1), Harvey's Quay (9/1), Baldur's Gate (10/1), Routine Excellence (14/1), Carlas Big Jim (18/1), Ik's Man (28/1), Hardwired (33/1), I A Connect (100/1)

Verdict

A WAVE OF THE SEA looked rejuvenated when going close at Navan in December and is one to be interested in now. Prince Zaltar remains with potential in this sphere on hurdles form and is next best ahead of last-time-out winner Clonbury Bridge.

  1. A WAVE OF THE SEA (IRE)
  2. PRINCE ZALTAR (FR)
  3. CLONBURY BRIDGE (IRE)
