Forecasts

Loughglynn (2/5), Charity Barnum (11/2), Elusive Prince (13/2), Native Speaker (9/1), D'jo Dela Barriere (25/1), Ivy Hall (28/1), Hillsdale (66/1), Rohirrim Lad (100/1)

Verdict

The one with the most appealing credentials is CHARITY BARNUM, who showed ability in a couple of bumpers and was still bang there when exiting at third-last on his hurdles debut at Naas. Loughglynn could have a part to play, while stablemates Native Speaker and Elusive Prince also need a second look.

  1. CHARITY BARNUM (IRE)
  2. LOUGHGLYNN (IRE)
  3. NATIVE SPEAKER (IRE)
