Forecasts

Behind The Curtain (11/4), Iconic Lady (4/1), Shantou Bay (11/2), Falco De Candale Aa (7/1), Ennemi Public (7/1), Lady Mccabe (9/1), The Dude Abides (12/1), Vipers Nest (12/1), Born In Galway (25/1), Baurscoob (33/1), Allez George (33/1), Ballyboy Bridge (40/1)

Verdict

Punchestown runner-up on debut, BEHIND THE CURTAIN sets the standard for prolific bumper winner Noel Meade and he should improve plenty for that run so will take some beating here. There are lots of likable sorts pedigree wise among the six debutants and none more so than Ennemi Public for the all-conquering Elliott-Gigginstown combination. Shantou Bay has the best form bar the selection so is another on the shortlist.
  1. Behind The Curtain
  2. Ennemi Public
  3. Shantou Bay
