Forecasts

Tronador (11/10), Cafe Con Leche (9/4), Pepper'n Salt (7/1), Majority Share (9/1), Darkened (12/1), Moghram (20/1), Metal Man (33/1), Miss Oriental (50/1), Irish Art (50/1), Orlov (50/1), Anuas Ar An Bpost (100/1)

Verdict

Gordon Elliott holds a strong hand here with four entries but his TRONADOR looks the pick on a good first hurdles run when fourth at Leopardstown's big Christmas meeting. A similar effort here would be enough to gain the day. Stable companion Moghram showed ability on his hurdles bow and may not be far away either. Cafe Con Leche has been set a few stiff tasks but has some talent and will be in the mix here, while the likes of Majority Share and Darkened are others worth a glance.
