Forecasts

Youralwaysdreamin (9/4), Carbon King (3/1), Knocknagappagh (4/1), Bal De Rio (9/2), Emir De Rots (6/1), Boothen Boy (12/1), Jukebox Jive (12/1), Nevendon (14/1), Must Meet Cecil (18/1), Commandingpresence (20/1), Littel Flour (22/1), Four Horsemen (33/1), Freddie's Frontier (33/1), Night Of Dreams (150/1), Ivoir Borget (150/1)

Verdict

Plenty with possibilities in this claimer. BAL DE RIO should be more at home back hurdling and is still very capable at this level so he's the suggestion. Gordon Elliott pair Knocknagappagh and Boothen Boy are possible dangers, while Carbon King would be the obvious first port of call if showing up after Monday's Navan handicap success.

  1. BAL DE RIO (FR)
  2. KNOCKNAGAPPAGH (IRE)
  3. BOOTHEN BOY (IRE)
