40/1

€4,000 3-y-o, Kalanisi gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Neon Moon. Likely to need more time.

5/1

Promising type. 11/4, third of 6 in bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) on NH debut 78 days ago. Should progress.

Masterboy Davis⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr H C Swan⁽⁵⁾| T: G Elliott

15/8

€85,000 3-y-o, Doctor Dino gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful French hurdler Lindy Hop Davis. Runner-up sole start in points (Dec 10). Of obvious interest on Rules debut.

Form: 2

Sounds Victorius⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins

10/11

Once-raced maiden. 5/2, second of 5 in bumper at Leopardstown (16.2f, heavy) on NH debut 52 days ago, running green. Sets a solid standard and there's more to come, so he boasts excellent claims.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Sounds Victorius (10/11), Masterboy Davis (15/8), Inn At The Park (5/1), A Tipp For Gold (20/1), Agree To Disagree (22/1), Aine's Lad (40/1), Brooklyn Bridge (40/1), Dream Shaper (150/1)

SOUNDS VICTORIUS showed signs of inexperience when second at Leopardstown 52 days ago and that form sets the bar pretty high, so he gets the nod over point recruit Masterboy Davis. Inn At The Park, a stablemate of the selection, also has potential.
