Forecasts

Kibris (11/8), Whats New (10/3), Crooked Path (10/3), In The Minus (6/1), Expert Analysis (22/1), Dahoma (22/1), Jr Mahon (33/1), Hawkesbury Legend (50/1), Ranting And Raven (66/1)

Verdict

Fairly useful Flat winner KIBRIS showed plenty to work with when second on hurdle debut earlier this month and with improvement likely, he can go one better here. What's New has a quirky side but has claims on his Listowel second, while Crooked Path was only 2 lengths behind Kibris last time and should be in the mix again.

  1. KIBRIS (IRE)
