Hes A Hardy Bloke (11/8), Majestic Maid (3/1), Takarengo (5/1), Yafordadoe (11/2), Annie Pender (10/1), Bal De Rio (20/1)
There should be better to come from HES A HARDY BLOKE, who left his hurdles debut well behind when landing a big-field maiden hurdle at Punchestown last month, surviving a last-flight mistake. He gets the nod ahead of the filly Annie Pender. Bal de Rio won't be far away if he puts his best foot forward, while Majestic Maid is also in with a shout.
