Forecasts

Rath Gaul Boy (8/11), Postileo (11/4), Twoohthree (7/1), Gold In The Rivers (12/1), Nemo (18/1), Rokathir (22/1), Brave Adam (25/1), Aurea Fortuna (50/1), Captain Jake (80/1)

Verdict

POSTILEO doesn't have many miles on the clock for his age and the smart Flat winner (Timeform rating of 112) could prove a class above these if taking to hurdling at the first attempt having joined shrewd connections. Useful bumper performer Rath Gaul Boy is a big danger if ready to go having shown plenty first time up over hurdles at the Galway Festival last summer. Rokathir's point form reads well and he's respected also in what could be an informative maiden.
