9/4

Debut winner of 2m maiden hurdle at Punchestown in March and made a successful debut over fences when scoring at Listowel last month. Entitled to do better so should be involved here.

1/3

Fairly useful hurdler. 5/2, found out in better company when 15¼ lengths third of 6 to Gin On Lime in Like A Butterfly Novices' Chase at Tipperary (19.8f, good to soft) 14 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Forecasts

Busselton (1/3), Bleu Berry (4/6), Coach Carter (9/4)

BLEU BERRY confirmed the promise of his chasing debut as he easily opened his account at Listowel last month, jumping accurately and scoring with the minimum of fuss. He's sure to progress again and win more races, so is a confident selection to go in again. Coach Carter shades the vote for the forecast spot having made a successful debut in this sphere at Listowel last month.
