Forecasts

Shoal Bay (7/4), Kilcara (2/1), Monty's Award (9/4), Ballyart (11/4), Templepark (11/2)

An open contest, with three of the five declared runners jumping fences competitively for the very first time. The mare Kilcara took her chance when beating Jaboticaba (made a bad mistake at the final fence) at Warwick, and she's massively respected off an identical mark. However, we'll take a chance on one of the newcomers with the top-weight MONTY'S AWARD having the strongest hurdles form in the book. He wasn't over-raced during the winter after winning the Fixed Brush Hurdles Series Final at Worcester (2m4f, good), and can quickly make up for that lost time over fences with conditions now more to his liking.
