Dollar Value (4/5), Boom Boom Boom (5/1), Felix Desjy (13/2), Gino Drummer Boy (9/1), Single Edition (9/1), Circus Act (14/1), Action Motion (14/1), Rick Dalton (16/1), Point Gellibrand (40/1)

Verdict

DOLLAR VALUE won a similar event in good style under this rider last month and looks the one to beat. Boom Boom Boom showed improved form when winning a novice hurdle at Ballinrobe and is feared most ahead of Felix Desjy, who's returning from a long absence.
