Forecasts

Harvard Guy (8/11), Search For Glory (5/4), Largy Hill (7/4), Sarah Beara (12/1)

Verdict

LARGY HILL confirmed the promise of his hurdling debut when getting off the mark at Cork last month and with improvement on the cards, Willie Mullins' 7-y-o can take this step up in class in his stride. Havard Guy is improving in leaps and bounds this season (unbeaten in 3 handicaps) and he looks the most obvious threat having a first crack at graded level.

  1. LARGY HILL (IRE)
  2. HARVARD GUY
  3. SEARCH FOR GLORY (IRE)
