Forecasts

Identity Thief (4/5), Ballyoisin (4/5), Ball D'Arc (6/4), Tully East (7/1)

Verdict

An intriguing four-runner contest that is likely to revolve around IDENTITY THIEF. He had lofty aims for this season and began with two impressive wins but things have gone awry since. All was not right at Christmas and he forfeited the chance to put the record straight when unseating at the first last month. He has risks, but on song should be winning this race. Ballyoisin gets 9lb from him and was impressive in scoring at Leopardstown last month so he ought to ensure the selection receives a thorough test. Ball D'arc is held by Identity Thief on their Punchestown meeting in November while Tully East is expected to settle for a minor role in this company. 1. Identity Thief 2. Ballyoisin 3. Ball D'arc
