Forecasts

Cross Border (15/8), Rattletheonionbag (16/5), Gerrit's Gem (10/3), Apple A Dey (10/1), Bold Optimist (12/1), If But Maybe (12/1), Ballysax Lil' Mick (12/1), Wayside Lady (28/1), Maponus (33/1), Vikki Wall (66/1), Haalim (100/1), Perfect Mirage (100/1), Needsomeluck (200/1)

Verdict

BOLD OPTMIST showed ability amidst greenness when fifth at Fairyhouse 100 days ago and there's improvement on the cards, so he's fancied to open his account in first-time cheekpieces. Cross Border is an obvious danger and Rattletheonionbag is a player if able to bounce back to her debut form.
