2/1
Course winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 3/1, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Down Royal (13f, good) 35 days ago, left with too much to do. Ought to be thereabouts.

9/2
Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, won 16-runner handicap hurdle at Cork (18.4f, good to soft, 6/1) 18 days ago. Blinkers/tongue strap back on and very much one to consider.

Forecasts

Jabbar (2/1), Robbies Rock (5/2), Chutzpal (5/2), Say It So (9/2), Stariam (9/2), Elsa's Pride (5/1), Paper Doll (13/2), Polemon (8/1), Empress Alma (10/1), Gracesolution (12/1), Simpson's Paradox (18/1)

Verdict

This is wide open but ELSA'S PRIDE rates just the pick of these weights so is fancied to bag a first win of the season at the chief expense of Empress Alma, who wasn't seen to best effect when fifth at Galway last time. In-form trio Polemon, Stariam and Say It So also need factoring into this competitive handicap.
