Hibernia Oppositus⁶⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr H C Swan⁽³⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 75

20/1

Lightly-raced gelding who was progressing gradually when last seen, second of 15 in maiden at the Curragh (12f, soft), clear of rest. However, that was 21 months ago and the market should prove a useful guide now starting out for new stable.

Forecasts

Man Of Worth (3/1), Redwood Queen (7/2), Shoda (9/2), Alfheim (13/2), Mazyad (7/1), Cast A Spell (10/1), Endless Pursuit (18/1), Beauforts Storm (20/1), Hibernia Oppositus (20/1), Nelson Muntz (33/1), Ragmans Corner (40/1), Nakassama (40/1), Infatuator (50/1), Make No Plans (50/1), Elusive Guy (66/1), Bid Up (66/1), Thefutureisnow (100/1), Themsthejoys (150/1), Good World (200/1), Gotta Catch'em All (200/1), Maestro Milo (200/1)

Low-mileage 3-y-o MAN OF WORTH stepped up on his sole start as a juvenile and highlighted he's the type to do better again when runner-up in a Sligo maiden 77 days ago. Representing a yard with a fine record at this meeting, he shades the vote to come out on top. Redwood Queen, a much-improved performer over hurdles in recent months, Shoda and Mazyad are a trio of others to consider.
