Forecasts

Royal Hawk (8/11), Twobeelucky (6/4), Bhutan (8/1), Fraser (16/1), Edification (20/1), Zauffaly (50/1), Bobby Boucher (66/1), Tangerine (66/1)

Verdict

Royal Hawk is sure to be popular for the champion trainer in this but his winning Irish debut at Cork was as much workmanlike as it was anything else. He may have more to offer but does not look a stable star in the making so he might be worth taking on. TWOBEELUCKY made a pleasing start to his jumps career and, having reached a mark of 89 on the Flat, has plenty scope for better at this game. Henry De Bromhead's charge can take this prize. Bhutan's only jumps start to date was in a Grade One, so he'll surely find this more to his liking while Edification may also do well in this sphere, though his long absence tempers enthusiasm for today.
