Forecasts

O'Moore Park (4/6), Chigorin (7/2), Zaidi (5/1), Reversal (11/1), Prince Palace (12/1), Jazzie De Chaillac (20/1), Sam The Great (200/1), Oneforbaz (300/1)

Verdict

O'MOORE PARK has a 19-month absence to overcome but he showed fairly useful form in bumpers and has a pedigree that suggests this much longer trip should suit now hurdling. He gets the nod, ahead of Chigorin, who showed plenty to work on when third on his debut in this sphere at Naas last month. Prince Palace can also have a say if showing something like his debut form.

  1. O'MOORE PARK (IRE)
