Forecasts

Cuta Des As (11/10), Pallas Athene (2/1), Gaillimh A Run (3/1), Kiltealy Park (7/2), Joya Del Mar (13/2), The Lord Maid (7/1), Lep Around (12/1), Ixigreczed (25/1), Chatterbox (66/1), Molly Hall (80/1), Noriska De La Mare (150/1), Mountrivers Lass (150/1), Mrs Millionaire (200/1), Princess Fiadh (200/1)

Verdict

PALLAS ATHENE was just behind the re-opposing Kiltealy Park when fourth at Punchestown last month but the result may have been different had Gordon Elliott's charge met the final flight on a better stride. She is taken to reverse the placings with that rival and emerge on top here. That said, Kiltealy Park is entitled to build on that Rules debut effort and she is feared, along with the Willie Mullins-trained hurdling debutante Cuta Des As, Joya Del Mar and Lep Around.
