Verdict

Something can't have been right with PALLAS ATHENE last time and she's given another chance as her 2 runs prior to that had been quite encouraging. Jokers 'N' Clowns got rid of her rider at the start on last week's hurdle debut but the fact this point winner went off at only 100/30 suggests she's well regarded and she could prove a threat if she behaves better with a hood added this time. Penelope's Charm achieved enough in her first 2 bumpers to think she could also make her presence felt.

  1. PALLAS ATHENE (IRE)
  2. JOKERS 'N' CLOWNS (IRE)
  3. PENELOPE'S CHARM (IRE)
