Forecasts

Theatre Native (4/5), Ballycallan King (13/2), On Lovers Walk (15/2), Arch Hall (8/1), Mi Lucky Cailin (9/1), Theflyingbee (11/1), Sharetheknowledge (12/1), Cottesloe Sunshine (14/1), Makaela's Choice (50/1), Penalty Try (66/1), Wearonthegold (125/1), Clonmihil (125/1), Kinbara Hills (125/1), Bruno From Mars (150/1)

Verdict

ARCH HALL made an encouraging start to his career when third over C&D 17 days ago and seems likely to build on that, so there's good reason to believe he'll be right in the thick of the action at the business end. Theatre Native stopped quickly on her hurdling debut at Clonmel back in November but was said to be blowing post-race and retains potential, while Mi Lucky Calin has improved with each run over hurdles so far and must enter calculations, too.

  1. ARCH HALL (IRE)
  2. THEATRE NATIVE (IRE)
  3. MI LUCKY CAILIN (IRE)
