2/1
Not disgraced in a couple of defeats in Grade 2 company last month. This looks more in the Lucarno geldings remit and should be in the mix.

4/1
Improving sort who is in a rich vein of form right now and has the form to make a bold bid here. *Well beaten as 4/1f at Navan, Saturday.

6/4
Not discredited in a couple of Graded contests recently and the distance winner can't be ruled out in this company.
4
Horse silk
5/1
Ran on well to land a Limerick maiden hurdle over 2m4f last month. Looks a progressive type and worth noting in the betting.

Forecasts

First Approach (6/4), Monbeg Worldwide (2/1), Ronald Pump (4/1), Cool Saint (5/1)
