Forecasts

Boru Boy (5/2), Vinnie Luck (4/1), Tellthemnuttin (5/1), Rise Of An Empire (8/1), Usurp (8/1), Pacte In The Park (8/1), Perfect Man (8/1), Fenlon's Hill (33/1)

Verdict

PERFECT MAN took two handicap hurdles in February and, despite a poor effort at Navan on the first of the month he is taken to regain the winning thread here. Boru Boy came back from a long absence to land a maiden hurdle at Cork and looks the main danger, while Usurp could prove more at home on this faster ground and take the minor spot
  1. Perfect Man
  2. Boru Boy
  3. Usurp
