Forecasts

Theflyingbee (11/8), Break The Boundary (11/4), Storms End (7/1), Ivy Hall (11/1), Confidential Gosip (12/1), Smokey Putnum (12/1), Drumgill (16/1), Charlie Buckett (20/1), Mont Beuvray (20/1), Kimjoy (20/1), A Year Older (40/1), Menhir (100/1)

Verdict

THEFLYINGBEE showed plenty in bumpers and the form of her fifth at Fairyhouse on hurdling debut a couple of months ago is the best on offer, so she gets the tentative vote up in trip ahead of Confidential Gosip, who looks the pick of the newcomers. Charlie Bucket is of interest if strong in the betting again.
