Forecasts

Touch Base (2/1), Presentingprincess (3/1), Anytime Now (5/1), Glan Y Gors (6/1), Caerleon Kate (12/1), Do You Know What (12/1), Tareesh Lane (20/1), Major Mitchell (25/1), Ninja Nelly (33/1), Archview Sunshine (66/1), Worth The Wait (66/1)

Verdict

The J P McManus-owned TOUCH BASE is expected to get of the mark at the fifth time of asking following two solid maiden hurdle starts at Ballinrobe and here last month finishing 1L adrift of the winner, Hillary John, where the fourth in the race, Shoulda Lied has subsequently won for trainer Willie Mullins. Solid maiden hurdler Presentingprincess and the potential improver, the Barry Connell-owned Glan Y Gors can hit the frame.
