Forecasts

Humble Glory (6/4), Churchstonewarrior (2/1), Midnight It Is (3/1), Lanziano (16/1), Highland Sting (18/1), Young Moloney (66/1), Western Lad (66/1), Coolaney Express (200/1)

Verdict

But for a final-flight mistake, it's likely that CHURCHSTONEWARRIOR would have gone mightly close at Thurles when last seen in February. He remains open to improvement in this sphere and is marginally preferred to Humble Glory, who found just one too good for the third time over hurdles at Roscommon last month and she should be winning before long. Midnight It Is also enters calculations.

  1. CHURCHSTONEWARRIOR (IRE)
  2. HUMBLE GLORY (IRE)
  3. MIDNIGHT IT IS
