Forecasts

Brideswell Lad (9/4), Majavango (7/2), Merry Dreamer (5/1), Tarqueens Glory (5/1), Mamaslittlestar (17/2), Port Jack (10/1), Oryx Hustler (10/1), Argentoratum (11/1), Le Fou's Keep (12/1), Iknownothing (14/1), The Mighty Molly (50/1), Her Nibs (80/1), So Efficient (100/1)

Verdict

BRIDESWELL LAD is the pick on hurdling form and produced a good fifth in a well-contested bumper last time, so he's a straightforward choice in a very thin maiden hurdle. Majavango can lay down a challenge provided his heavy fall at Fairyhouse hasn't left a mark. Hurdling debutante Tarqueens Glory also warrants a mention.

  1. BRIDESWELL LAD (IRE)
  2. MAJAVANGO (IRE)
  3. TARQUEENS GLORY (IRE)
