Forecasts

Silk Worm (10/3), Mc Alpine (4/1), Elusive Star (11/2), Capture The Action (8/1), Crazyheart (9/1), Loudest Whisper (10/1), Sadies Trix (11/1), Amlad (14/1), Rock On Seamie (16/1), Good World (16/1), Fayetta (16/1), Gold Label (16/1), Frankfurter (20/1), Ontheiflist (22/1), Union Park (25/1)

Verdict

SILK WORM is yet to win over hurdles but arrives on the back of an excellent second at Thurles and is taken to go one better here nudged up just 1 lb. Loudest Whisper has been off the track since October but goes well fresh so is feared most with in-form Capture The Action worth a second look too in an open handicap.

  1. SILK WORM (IRE)
  2. LOUDEST WHISPER (IRE)
  3. CAPTURE THE ACTION (IRE)
