Forecasts

River Tara (5/4), Beaufort Scale (11/4), Charlie's Dilemma (16/5), Ollie La Ba Ba (7/2), Midleton Rare (15/2), Look Dont Touch (16/1), Vaureal (18/1), Western Ability (66/1), Nicolas Fortune (80/1), Dersalwayssometin (80/1), Imperial Fashion (125/1)

Verdict

Promising types BEAUFORT SCALE and River Tara are likely to come to the fore in this maiden. The latter is not passed over at all lightly but Beaufort Scale shades preference on the back of a very encouraging hurdles debut second at Cork. Though Ollie La Ba Ba was a place behind the re-opposing Charlie's Dilemma when third here last month, he was hampered in the closing stages on that occasion and may well reverse those placings granted better luck this time.

  1. BEAUFORT SCALE (IRE)
  2. RIVER TARA (IRE)
