Mon Storm (3/1), Iamastartoo (9/2), Callthebarman (5/1), Dawn Raider (11/2), Adimelo (13/2), Mutadaffeq (7/1), My Manekineko (16/1), Presenting Mahler (20/1), Alohamora (20/1)

Verdict

ALOHAMORA is in good order at present evidenced by her place finish in a competitive handicap hurdle at Leopardstown in March. Long absence is slight cause for concern but she still might be progressive enough to land this contest. Iamastartoo is a consistent type who ran a decent race last week at Downpatrick and a repeat of that effort will be good enough to get close here. Mon Storm loves it around this course and his recent win is pretty reliable form. Whether he can win off a career high mark remains to be seen but is clearly in good order.
  1. Alohamora
  2. Iamastartoo
  3. Mon Storm
