Forecasts

Harry Des Ongrais (1/1), Positive Thinker (4/1), Happy Victory (7/1), Cheerful Chap (8/1), Simpletwistoffaith (17/2), Drumderry Harlem (11/1), No Bodder (12/1), The Last Throw (18/1), Champagne Monarch (20/1), Running Scared (40/1), Out Galavanting (50/1), Drop The Harrow (80/1), Sir Daniel (100/1), Duhallow Rainbow (100/1), Carols Wish (150/1)

Verdict

HARRY DES ONGRAIS left his bumper form well behind when making late gains to finish fourth in a 16-runner novice on debut in this sphere at Gowran. The former point winner will almost certainly be suited by a stiffer test in time but should nevertheless have enough pace to emerge on top here. Champagne Monarch has a bit to prove starting out for his new yard, which leaves Happy Victory and Simpletwistoffaith as the most likely pair to pick up minor place money.
