Forecasts

Apple Crumble (7/4), Raven Rule (2/1), Ilmig (6/1), The Dara Man (8/1), Sicario (10/1), Wicklow Flyer (14/1), Rose Milan (66/1)

Verdict

RAVEN RULE was most unlucky not to make a winning handicap debut at Cork 18 days ago, 3 lengths clear with the race at her mercy when falling heavily at the last, and she can make amends back in a novice if over that experience. Bumper winner Apple Crumble made a positive start over hurdles when second to The Dara Man and can improve past that rival on much better terms.

  1. RAVEN RULE (IRE)
  2. APPLE CRUMBLE (IRE)
  3. WICKLOW FLYER (IRE)
