Forecasts

Padraic O Conaire (11/8), Touch Base (2/1), All's Quiet (4/1), Deor (9/2), Small World (13/2), Pi Ahio (12/1), Old Castletown (12/1), Fearachain (16/1), Freedom Statue (16/1), Odit (20/1)

Verdict

A handicap hurdle where it may be left to a couple in fine form with the Gordon Elliott-trained TOUCH BASE, who stayed on strongly under pressure at Downpatrick earlier this month, taken to get the better of potential improver Padraic O Conaire who comes here on the back of a 1L win at Sligo. All's Quiet, Small World in first-time blinkers and newcomer Pi Ahio can battle for the minor honours.
