Forecasts

Idas Boy (8/11), Caesar Rock (10/3), Ingenious Stroke (5/1), Wall Of Fame (13/2), Highland Sting (17/2), Time Marches On (12/1), Aikenbreakinheart (14/1), Futurum Regem (16/1), City Limits (25/1), Worth Presenting (66/1), Western Lad (100/1), Steelers Appeal (150/1), Belville Babe (250/1), Keeffelee (250/1)

Verdict

IDAS BOY fetched six figures after his point win and made a promising start over hurdles when third at Punchestown a year ago. He's been off the track since but returns with his yard in form and he looks the way to go. Ingenious Stroke and Highland Sting are also likely to improve and are feared most.

  1. IDAS BOY (IRE)
  2. INGENIOUS STROKE (IRE)
  3. HIGHLAND STING (IRE)
